Salicylic acid (SA) is a phytohormone required for plant growth and defense signaling. There are two major SA biosynthesis pathways in plants: the isochorismate synthase (ICS) pathway and the phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) pathway. It has been demonstrated in several plant species, including the model plant , that SA is derived predominantly from the ICS pathway. Here, we employed the CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate knockout mutants in rice ( L.). The mutants display severe growth defects, and are completely devoid of phylloquinone, an isochorismate-derived product. The growth defects of can be rescued through exogenous application of 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (NA), a precursor of phylloquinone. Remarkably, the basal SA levels are not altered in the mutants. Our findings support a role of OsICS in the biosynthesis of phylloquinone, and imply that SA biosynthesis in rice may occur through an alternative route other than the ICS pathway.

水杨酸(SA)是植物生长和防御信号传导所需的一种植物激素。植物中有两条主要的SA生物合成途径:异分支酸合酶(ICS)途径和苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)途径。在包括模式植物在内的几种植物物种中已证明,SA主要来源于ICS途径。在此,我们利用CRISPR/Cas9系统在水稻()中产生敲除突变体。突变体表现出严重的生长缺陷,并且完全缺乏维生素K1(一种异分支酸衍生产物)。突变体的生长缺陷可以通过外源施加维生素K1的前体1,4 - 二羟基 - 2 - 萘甲酸(NA)来挽救。值得注意的是,突变体中的基础SA水平没有改变。我们的研究结果支持了水稻OsICS在维生素K1生物合成中的作用,并暗示水稻中SA的生物合成可能通过ICS途径以外的替代途径发生。
