Tillering in rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important agronomic traits that determine grain yields. Previous studies on tillering mutants have shown outgrowth tiller buds regulated by a carotenoid-derived MAX/RMS/D (more axillary branching) pathway, which may be conserved higher plants. Strigolactones, group terpenoid lactones, been recently identified as products pathway inhibits bud outgrowth. We report here molecular genetic characterization d27, classic mutant exhibiting...
More than half of the world's population uses rice as a source carbon intake every day. Improving grain quality is thus essential to consumers. The three main properties that determine eating and cooking quality--amylose content, gel consistency, gelatinization temperature--correlate with one another, but underlying mechanism these remains unclear. Through an association analysis approach, we found genes related starch synthesis cooperate each other form fine regulating network controls...
Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid-derived phytohormones that control many aspects of plant development, including shoot branching, leaf shape, stem secondary thickening, and lateral root growth. In rice (Oryza sativa), SL signaling requires the degradation DWARF53 (D53), mediated by a complex D14 D3, but in Arabidopsis thaliana, components mechanism involving D3 ortholog MORE AXILLARY GROWTH2 (MAX2) unknown. Here, we show SL-dependent regulation branching three D53-like proteins,...
Plant mechanical strength is an important agronomic trait. To understand the molecular mechanism that controls plant of crops, we characterized classic rice mutant brittle culm1 (bc1) and isolated BC1 using a map-based cloning approach. BC1, which encodes COBRA-like protein, expressed mainly in developing sclerenchyma cells vascular bundles rice. In these types cells, mutations cause not only reduction cell wall thickness cellulose content but also increase lignin level, suggesting gene...
IDEAL PLANT ARCHITECTURE1 (IPA1) is critical in regulating rice (Oryza sativa) plant architecture and substantially enhances grain yield. To elucidate its molecular basis, we first confirmed IPA1 as a functional transcription activator then identified 1067 2185 genes associated with binding sites shoot apices young panicles, respectively, through chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing assays. The SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-box direct core motif GTAC was highly enriched peaks;...
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) harbor driver mutations of signal transduction kinases such as KIT, or, alternatively, manifest loss-of-function defects in the mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex, a component Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. We have uncovered striking divergence between DNA methylation profiles SDH-deficient GIST (n = 24) versus KIT tyrosine kinase pathway-mutated 39). Infinium 450K array analysis formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues...
Summary A critical step during rice ( Oryza sativa ) cultivation is dense planting: a wider tiller angle will increase leaf shade and decrease photosynthesis efficiency, whereas narrower makes for more efficient plant architecture. The molecular basis of remains unknown. This research demonstrates that controlled by major quantitative trait locus, TAC1 Tiller Angle Control 1 ). was mapped to 35‐kb region on chromosome 9 using large F 2 population from crosses between an indica rice, IR24,...
Strigolactones (SLs), a group of carotenoid derived terpenoid lactones, are root-to-shoot phytohormones suppressing shoot branching by inhibiting the outgrowth axillary buds. DWARF 53 (D53), key repressor SL signaling pathway, is speculated to regulate downstream transcriptional network response. However, no transcription factor targeted D53 has yet been reported. Here we report that Ideal Plant Architecture 1 (IPA1), regulator plant architecture in rice, functions as direct component...
Significance The phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) plays a vital role in plant growth and development. IAA can be synthesized through the precursor tryptophan (Trp), known as Trp-dependent biosynthetic pathway. However, may also proposed Trp-independent Although biosynthesis was hypothesized 20 years ago, it remains mystery. In this paper, we provide compelling evidence that cytosol-localized indole synthase (INS) initiates pathway spatial temporal expression of INS an important...
Photosynthesis is a major trait of interest for the development high-yield crop plants. However, little known about effects high-density planting on photosynthetic responses at whole-canopy level. Using high-yielding maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars "LY66," "MC670," and "JK968," we conducted 2-yr field experiment to assess ear in addition leaf characteristics parameters each canopy layer 4 densities. Increased density promoted high grain yield population-scale biomass accumulation despite...
The architecture of the rice inflorescence, which is determined mainly by number and length primary secondary inflorescence branches, importance in both agronomy developmental biology. position branches are established during phase transition from vegetative to reproductive growth, several genes identified as participating this process do so regulating meristemic activities inflorescence. However, little known about molecular mechanism that controls branch elongation. Here, we report on a...
A rice tiller is a specialized grain-bearing branch that contributes greatly to grain yield. The MONOCULM 1 (MOC1) gene the first identified key regulator controlling number; however, underlying mechanism remains be elucidated. Here we report novel gene, Tillering and Dwarf (TAD1), which encodes co-activator of anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C), multi-subunit E3 ligase. Although elucidation co-activators individual subunits plant APC/C involved in regulating development have emerged...
