Abstract
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major factor limiting crop potentials in acidic soils. Phenotypic as well as allelic variations in nucleotide sequence within STAR2 gene in different rice cultivars was investigated. On the basis of morphological screening, six rice cultivars, viz., ‘Subhadra’, ‘Sankar’, ‘Rudra’, ‘Udaygiri’, ‘Lalitagiri’ and ‘Ghanteshwari’ showed tolerance to aluminum and other four cultivars were susceptible to Al. Both STAR1 (for sensitive to Al rhizotoxicity1) and STAR2 genes were identified in Indica rice demonstrating the Al toxicity/tolerance. The present study indicate that STAR2 encodes a transmembrane domain of a bacterial-type ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter methyltransferaseI (metI) like protein, sulfate/molybdate abc transporter/permease (transport protein), maltose transport system permease protein malf (hydrolase/transport protein) present in 13-α-helices and 14-coils, which signifies the role in Al tolerance. Based on phenotypic and genotypic observations, the cultivars like ‘Lalat’ and ‘Jyotirmayee’ were found susceptible to aluminum. In summary, both Oryza sativa, indica group and Oryza sativa, japonica group were genotypically similar and coevolved to confer the tolerance against aluminum stress, which helps in crop improvement programme.
