Plants have evolved a number of different mechanisms to respond and to adapt to abiotic stress for their survival. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in coordinating abiotic stress tolerance and plant growth are not fully understood. Here, the function of OsMYB91, an R2R3-type MYB transcription factor of rice was explored.OsMYB91was induced by abiotic stress, especially by salt stress. Analysis of chromatin structure of the gene revealed that salt stress led to rapid removal of DNA methylation from the promoter region and rapid changes of histone modifications in the locus. Plants over-expressingOsMYB91showed reduced plant growth and accumulation of endogenous ABA under control conditions. Under salt stress, the over-expression plants showed enhanced tolerance with significant increases of proline levels and a highly enhanced capacity to scavenge active oxygen as well as the increased induction ofOsP5CS1andLOC_Os03g44130compared to wild type, while RNAi plants were less sensitive. In addition, expression ofOsMYB91was also induced by other abiotic stresses and hormone treatment. More interestingly,SLR1, the rice homolog of ArabidopsisDELLAgenes that have been shown to integrate endogenous developmental signals with adverse environmental conditions, was highly induced byOsMYB91over-expression, while the salt-induction ofSLR1expression was impaired in the RNAi plants. These results suggested thatOsMYB91was a stress-responsive gene that might be involved in coordinating rice tolerance to abiotic stress and plant growth by regulatingSLR1expression.
