Heat stress is a frequent environmental constraint. Phytohormones can significantly affect plant thermotolerance. This study compares the effects of exogenous cytokinin meta-topolin-9-(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)purine (mT9THP) on rice (Oryza sativa) under control conditions, after acclimation by moderate temperature (A, 37 °C, 2h), heat stress (HS, 45 °C, 6h) and their combination (AHS). mT9THP is a stable cytokinin derivative that releases active meta-topolin gradually, preventing the rapid deactivation reported after exogenous cytokinin application. Under control conditions, mT9THP negatively affected jasmonic acid in leaves and abscisic and salicylic acids in crowns (meristematic tissue crucial for tillering). Exogenous cytokinin stimulated the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC), especially 2,3-butanediol. Acclimation upregulated trans-zeatin, expression of stress- and hormone-related genes, and VOC emission. The combination of acclimation and mT9THP promoted the expression of stress markers and antioxidant enzymes and moderately increased VOC emission, including 2-ethylhexyl salicylate or furanones. AHS and HS responses shared some common features, namely, increase of ethylene precursor aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), cis-zeatin and cytokinin methylthio derivatives, as well as the expression of heat shock proteins, alternative oxidases, and superoxide dismutases. AHS specifically induced jasmonic acid and auxin indole-3-acetic acid levels, diacylglycerolipids with fewer double bonds, and VOC emissions [e.g., acetamide, lipoxygenase (LOX)-derived volatiles]. Under direct HS, exogenous cytokinin mimicked some positive acclimation effects. The combination of mT9THP and AHS had the strongest thermo-protective effect, including a strong stimulation of VOC emissions (including LOX-derived ones). These results demonstrate for the first time the crucial contribution of volatiles to the beneficial effects of cytokinin and AHS on rice thermotolerance.
