摘要: Drought damage has intensified through global warming, and drought stress is detrimental to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yields. Although certain compounds (such as flavonoids) are used as a convenient and effective method to improve plant drought resistance, the mechanism by which flavonoids affect plant drought resistance at the molecular level remains unclear. We found that vitexin, a flavonoid compound, significantly improved drought tolerance in the wheat variety Chang 6878 at the seedling stage. Physiological and transcriptomic analysis during the seedling stage of wheat showed that external application of vitexin increased the transcript-level expression of six genes, including phenylalanine deaminase (PAL), chalcone isomerase (CHI), chalcone synthase (CHS), flavonol synthase II (FNSII), anthocyanin reductase (ANR), and flavonoid 3 '-hydroxylase (CYP75B1), which are involved in flavonoid synthesis and phenylpropanoid pathways under drought conditions. The increased expression of these enzymes increased flavonoid accumulation, a phenomenon that increases the antioxidant capacity and drought resistance of wheat. The content of plant hormones (salicylic acid, brassinolide, and ethylene) and linolenic acid increased significantly, whereas that of malondialdehyde decreased. This suggests that externally applied vitexin can improve drought tolerance in wheat through phytohormonal pathways and maintenance of cell membrane stability. Our results highlight the regulatory pathways of vitexin in wheat and suggest the future use of vitexin as a bio-stimulant to enhance drought tolerance in wheat.
