    Abstract:
    Whole-genome duplication is a significant evolutionary mechanism in plants, with polyploid plants often displaying larger organs and enhanced adaptability to unfavorable conditions compared to their diploid counterparts. The cell wall acts as a primary defense for plant cells against external stresses, playing an essential role in the plant's resistance to various stressors. In this study, we utilized both autotetraploid and its donor diploid rice (Oryza sativa L.) to analyze their phenotypic differences comparatively, the composition of key cell wall components, and the expression of related genes under normal conditions, as well as under stress from Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae) and salt. Our findings indicated that autotetraploid rice exhibits significantly larger phenotypic characteristics under normal conditions than diploid rice. At the seedling stage, the lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin levels in autotetraploid rice were markedly lower than in diploid rice. Additionally, 24 genes associated with major cell wall components showed differential expression between diploid and tetraploid rice. At the filling stage, the lignin and pectin content in autotetraploid rice were significantly higher than in diploid rice, while the levels of cellulose and hemicellulose were notably lower. Under M. oryzae stress or salt stress, autotetraploid rice showed smaller lesion areas and less wilting than diploid rice. The increased lignin content in autotetraploid rice under M. oryzae stress suggested a stronger adaptive capacity to adverse conditions. Compared to salt stress, M. oryzae stress induced more differential expression of genes related to major cell wall components. In this study, we explored the differences in the major cell wall components of diploid and homologous tetraploid rice under various treatment conditions. This study provides valuable insights into understanding the cell wall's adaptive mechanisms in autotetraploid rice when facing blast disease and salt stress, and it reveals the differential gene expression linked to these adaptive capabilities.
