Abstract
This study was conducted with the target of determine the role of OsHKT4 and OsHKT6 genes in rice plants under salt stress and observe its gene expression by GUS technology, as well as studying the Na+ and K+ accumulation in different tissues. The results obtained show that OsHKT4::GUS appeared strong GUS activity, expressed mainly in vascular tissues. In contrast, the GUS activity of the OsHKT6 promoters in NaCl-treated leaves was greater than that in water-treated leaves. Also in wild type plants, increasing the Na+ concentration has the effect of increasing the Na+ content of the tissues generally, the old leaves accumulating more Na+ which reduced the K+ content in roots and old leaves (Na+ levels are higher in the leaf lower parts). These results suggest that OsHKT4 and OsHKT6 genes plays a role in the accumulation of Na+ in old leaves, by adopting the mechanical exclusion of toxic ions in the old leaves of the plant.
