| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. Water deficits are responsible for countless agricultural losses. Among the affected crops, C4 plants are of special interest due to their high water and nitrogen use efficiency. Two accessions of Setaria viridis (Ast-1 and A10.1) with contrasting responses to water deficit were used in the current work to better understand the mechanisms behind drought tolerance in C4 species. Our results showed that although the A10.1 accession exhibited a reduced size and lower Rfd values in comparison to Ast-1, it had overall higher Fv/Fm and lower NPQ values in well-watered conditions. The water deficit induction was performed with PEG-8000 at the grain-filling stage using dehydration cycles. Analysis of physiological measurements showed the A10.1 accession as being more tolerant to multiple water deficit exposures. In addition, PCA identified a clear difference in the pattern of drought response of the accessions. Four drought marker genes previously described in the literature were chosen to evaluate the response at the molecular level: SvP5CS2, SvDHN1, SvNAC6, and SvWRKY1. Besides confirming that Ast-1 is a more sensitive accession, the expression analysis revealed that SvNAC1 might better monitor drought stress, while SvWRKY1 was able to differentiate the two accessions. Distinct evolutionary histories of each accession may be behind their differences in response to water deficits |
