OsSCYL2 gene, a member of the SCY1-LIKE gene family in rice, encodes a protein that interacts with clathrin heavy chain 1 (CHC1) and localizes to the clathrin-coated vesicles. In this study, the drought tolerance of OsSCYL2 mutants, scyl2-1 and scyl2-2, was analyzed. The results showed that compared with the wild-type ‘Xiushui 134’, the mutant plants had a higher degree of stomatal closure on leaf surfaces, lower water loss rate in detached leaves, and higher water content under drought stress conditions. The drought tolerance of the scyl2 mutants was significantly enhanced as compared with the wild-type. The response to ABA treatment in the scyl2 mutants was not significantly different from the wild-type, and the endogenous ABA content in the mutants was significantly decreased compared with the wild-type, indicating that the enhanced drought tolerance in the mutants is not dependent on ABA signaling. The H2O2 content in the leaves of scyl2 increased, especially in the guard cells of stomata. The expression levels of multiple Osrboh genes encoding NADPH oxidases increased, indicating that the OsSCYL2 gene-mediated signaling pathway regulates rice drought stress response by negatively regulating the expression of Osrboh genes. These findings provide new insights into the molecular regulatory mechanisms of rice in response to drought stress.
