Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways have been implicated in signal transduction of both biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. In this study, we found that the transcript of a rice (Oryza sativa)MAPKK(OsMKK1) was markedly increased by salt stress. By examining the survival rate and Na+content in shoot, we found thatOsMKK1-knockout (osmkk1) mutant was more sensitive to salt stress than the wild type. OsMKK1 activity in the wild-type seedlings and protoplasts was increased by salt stress. Yeast two-hybrid andin vitroandin vivokinase assays revealed that OsMKK1 targeted OsMPK4. OsMPK4 activity was increased by salt, which was impaired inosmkk1plants. In contrast, overexpression ofOsMKK1increased OsMPK4 activity in protoplasts. By comparing the transcription factors levels between WT andosmkk1mutant,OsMKK1was necessary for salt-induced increase inOsDREB2BandOsMYBS3. Taken together, the data suggest that OsMKK1 and OsMPK4 constitute a signaling pathway that regulates salt stress tolerance in rice.
