Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Plants encounter Fe deficiency when grown in calcareous soil with low Fe availability, leading to reduced crop yield and agricultural problem. Rice acquires Fe from the soil via Strategy I–related system (ferrous ion uptake by OsIRT1) and Strategy II system (ferric ion uptake by chelation). However, rice plants have a weak ability in Fe(III) reduction and phytosiderophore secretion. We previously produced an Fe deficiency–tolerant rice harboring OsIRT1 promoter-refre1/372 (for higher Fe(III) reductase ability) and a 35S promoter-OsIRO2 (for higher phytosiderophore secretion). In this study, we produced a new Fe deficiency–tolerant rice by the additional introduction of a barley IDS3 genome fragment with refre1/372 and OsIRO2 (named as IRI lines) for further enhancement in Strategy II phytosiderophore productivity and better growth performance in various environments. Our results show that an enhanced tolerance was observed in OsIRO2 introduced line at the early growth stage, refre1/372 introduced line in the late stage, and RI line in all stages among five types of cultivation method. Moreover, we demonstrated that new IRI rice lines exhibited enhanced tolerance to Fe deficiency compared to nontransgenic (NT) rice and rice lines harboring the overexpressing OsIRO2 or the IDS3 fragment under submerged calcareous soil. The yields of IRI lines were ninefold higher than the NT line. Furthermore, under Fe-limited nonsubmerged calcareous soil condition (a new cultivation condition), IRI lines also conferred enhanced tolerance than NT, lines introducing only the OsIRT1 promoter-refre1/372 or overexpressing OsIRO2, and lines harboring both. Our results demonstrate that further enhancement of the Strategy II Fe uptake system by the mugineic acid synthase gene in addition to Fe uptake by enhanced ferric Fe reduction and phytosiderophore production in rice contributes Fe deficiency tolerance and broaden its utility in calcareous soil cultivation under paddy or nonpaddy field conditions.
