Premature leaf senescence affects plant growth and yield in rice. NAD plays critical roles in cellular redox reactions and remains at a sufficient level in the cell to prevent cell death. Although numerous factors affecting leaf senescence have been identified, few involving NAD biosynthetic pathways have been described for plants. Here, we report the cloning and characterization ofLeaf Tip Senescence 1(LTS1) in rice (Oryza sativa), a recessive mutation in the gene encodingO. sativanicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase (OsNaPRT1) in the NAD salvage pathway. A point mutation inOsNaPRT1leads to dwarfism and the withered leaf tip phenotype, and thelts1mutant displays early leaf senescence compared to the wild type. Leaf nicotinate and nicotinamide contents are elevated inlts1, while NAD levels are reduced. Leaf tissue oflts1exhibited significant DNA fragmentation and H2O2accumulation, along with up-regulation of genes associated with senescence. Thelts1mutant also showed reduced expression of SIR2-like genes (OsSRT1andOsSRT2) and increased acetylation of histone H3K9. Down-regulation ofOsSRTsinduced histone H3K9 acetylation of senescence-related genes. These results suggest that deficiency in the NAD salvage pathway can trigger premature leaf senescence due to transcriptional activation of senescence-related genes.
