ABSTRACT
Brown planthopper (BPH) is the most destructive insect pest of rice. Drought is the most detrimental environmental stress. BPH infestation causes adaxial leaf-rolling and bulliform cells (BCs) shrinkage similar to drought. The BC-related abaxially curled leaf1 (ACL1) gene negatively regulates BPH resistance and drought tolerance, with decreased cuticular wax in the gain-of-function mutant ACL1-D. ACL1 shows an epidermis-specific expression. The TurboID system and multiple biochemical assays reveal that ACL1 interacts with the epidermal-characteristic rice outermost cell-specific (ROC) proteins. ROC4 and ROC5 positively regulate BPH resistance and drought tolerance through modulating cuticular wax and BCs, respectively. Overexpression of ROC4 and ROC5 both rescue ACL1-D mutant in various related phenotypes. ACL1 competes with ROC4/ROC5 in homo-dimer and hetero-dimer formation, and interacts with the repressive TOPLESS-related proteins. Altogether, we illustrate that ACL1-ROC4/5 complexes synergistically mediate drought tolerance and BPH resistance through regulating cuticular wax content and BC development in rice, a mechanism that might facilitate BPH-resistant breeding.
