Here we analyse genetic variation, population structure and diversity among 3,010 diverse Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomes from the 3,000 Rice Genomes Project. Our results are consistent with five major groups previously recognized, but also suggest several unreported subpopulations that correlate geographic location. We identified 29 million single nucleotide polymorphisms, 2.4 small indels over 90,000 structural variations contribute to within- between-population variation....
Abstract In flowering plants, tapetum degeneration is proposed to be triggered by a programmed cell death (PCD) process during late stages of pollen development; the PCD thought provide cellular contents supporting wall formation and allow subsequent release. However, molecular basis regulating in plants remains poorly understood. We report isolation characterization rice (Oryza sativa) male sterile mutant retardation (tdr), which exhibits middle layer as well collapse microspores. The TDR...
Abstract The basic/helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors and their homologs form a large family in plant animal genomes. They are known to play important roles the specification of tissue types animals. On other hand, few bHLH proteins have been studied functionally. Recent completion whole genome sequences model plants Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) rice (Oryza sativa) allows genome-wide analysis comparison flowering plants. We identified 167 genes genome, phylogenetic indicates...
Abstract The rice (Oryza sativa) floral homeotic C-class gene, MADS3, was previously shown to be required for stamen identity determination during early flower development. Here, we describe a role MADS3 in regulating late anther development and pollen formation. Consistent with this role, is highly expressed the tapetum microspores development, newly identified mutant allele, mads3-4, displays defective walls, aborted microspores, complete male sterility. During mads3-4 exhibits oxidative...
Summary Rice inflorescence development determines yield and relies on the activity of axillary meristems (AMs); however, high‐resolution analysis its early is lacking. Here, we have used high‐throughput single‐cell RNA sequencing to profile 37 571 rice cells constructed a genome‐scale gene expression resource covering inflorescence‐to‐floret transition during reproductive development. The differentiation trajectories florets AMs were reconstructed, discrete cell types groups regulators in...
Abstract Here, we report our effort in generating an ORFeome collection for the Arabidopsis transcription factor (TF) genes. In total, clones representing 1,282 TF genes have been obtained Gateway high throughput cloning pENTR vector, including 411 whose annotation lack cDNA support. All inserts also mobilized into a yeast expression destination with estimated 85% rate of expressing respective proteins. Sequence analysis these revealed that 34 them did not match either reported cDNAs or...
Abstract The accumulation of a number small RNAs in plants is affected by abscisic acid (ABA) and abiotic stresses, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. miR168-mediated feedback regulatory loop regulates ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) homeostasis, which crucial for gene expression modulation plant development. Here, we reveal transcriptional mechanism MIR168 controls AGO1 homeostasis during ABA treatment stress responses Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Plants overexpressing MIR168a...
Abstract Grass plants develop distinct inflorescences and spikelets that determine grain yields. However, the mechanisms underlying specification of in grasses remain largely unknown. Here, we report biological role one SEPALLATA (SEP)-like gene, OsMADS34, controlling development rice (Oryza sativa). OsMADS34 encodes a MADS box protein containing short carboxyl terminus without transcriptional activation activity yeast cells. We demonstrate ubiquitous expression roots, leaves, primordia...
In male reproductive development in plants, meristemoid precursor cells possessing transient, stem cell-like features undergo cell divisions and differentiation to produce the anther, organ. The anther contains centrally positioned microsporocytes surrounded by four distinct layers of wall: epidermis, endothecium, middle layer, tapetum. Here, we report that rice (Oryza sativa) basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein TDR INTERACTING PROTEIN2 (TIP2) functions as a crucial switch transition...
Abstract Poaceae, one of the largest flowering plant families in angiosperms, evolved distinct inflorescence and flower morphology diverging from eudicots other monocots. However, mechanism underlying specification grasses remains unclear. Here we show that floral zygomorphy along lemma-palea axis rice (Oryza sativa) is partially or indirectly determined by CYCLOIDEA (CYC)-like homolog RETARDED PALEA1 (REP1), which regulates palea identity development. The REP1 gene only expressed primordium...
Abstract Reproductive organ development is one of the most important steps in life cycle plants. Studies using core eudicot species like thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) and snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) have shown that MADS domain transcription factors belonging to AGAMOUS (AG) subfamily regulate identity stamens, carpels, ovules they are for floral meristem determinacy. Here, we investigate genetic interactions between four rice (Oryza sativa) AG members, MADS3, MADS13, MADS21, MADS58....
AGAMOUS-LIKE6 (AGL6) genes play essential roles in flower development, but whether and how they work with floral organ identity remain less understood. Here, we describe interactions of the rice (Oryza sativa) AGL6 gene MADS6 other homeotic development. Genetic analyses revealed that specifies three inner whorls meristem determinacy redundantly SUPERWOMAN1/MADS16 (B-gene) or MADS3 (C-gene). was shown to define carpel/ovule development by interacting MADS13 (D-gene) control palea identities...
After meiosis, tapetal cells in the innermost anther wall layer undergo program cell death (PCD)-triggered degradation. This step is essential for microspore development and pollen maturation. We identified a key gene, Defective Tapetum Cell Death 1 (DTC1), that controls this degeneration by modulating dynamics of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during rice male reproduction. Mutants defective DTC1 exhibit phenotypes an enlarged tapetum middle with delayed degeneration, causing sterility. The...
Rice is a major staple food worldwide. Making hybrid rice has proved to be an effective strategy significantly increase grain yield. Current technologies rely on male sterile lines and have been used predominantly in indica cultivars. However, intrinsic problems exist the implementation of these technologies, such as limited germplasms unpredictable conversions from sterility fertility field. Here, we describe photoperiod-controlled line, carbon starved anther ( csa ), which contains...
