MicroRNAs (miRNA) are ∼21 nucleotide-long non-coding small RNAs, which function as post-transcriptional regulators in eukaryotes. miRNAs play essential roles regulating plant growth and development. In recent years, research into the mechanism consequences of miRNA action has made great progress. With whole genome sequence available such plants Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa, Populus trichocarpa, Glycine max, etc., it is desirable to develop a database through integration large amounts...
Common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon), the relative of Asian cultivated sativa), flaunts long, barbed awns, which are necessary for efficient propagation and dissemination seeds. By contrast, O. sativa cultivars have been selected to be awnless or harbor short, barbless facilitate seed processing storage. The transition from awns was a crucial event in domestication. Here, we show that presence is controlled by major gene on chromosome 4, LONG AND BARBED AWN1 (LABA1), encodes...
Abstract Inflorescence architecture is a key agronomical factor determining grain yield, and thus has been major target of cereal crop domestication. Transition from spread panicle typical ancestral wild rice ( Oryza rufipogon Griff.) to the compact present cultivars O. sativa L.) was crucial event in Here we show that controlled by dominant gene, Os LG1, previously reported SBP-domain transcription controls ligule development. Association analysis indicates single-nucleotide polymorphism-6...
Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) was domesticated from wild rufipogon), which typically displays fewer grains per panicle and longer than cultivated rice. In addition, has long awns, whereas short awns or lacks them altogether. These changes represent critical events in domestication. Here, we identified a major gene, GRAIN NUMBER, LENGTH AND AWN DEVELOPMENT1 (GAD1), that regulates those during GAD1 is located on chromosome 8 predicted to encode small secretary signal peptide belonging the...
During rice domestication and improvement, increasing grain yield to meet human needs was the primary objective. Rice is a quantitative trait determined by multiple genes, but molecular basis for increased still unclear. Here, we show that NUMBER OF GRAINS 1 (NOG1), which encodes an enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase, increases of enhancing number per panicle without negative effect on panicles plant or weight. NOG1 can significantly increase commercial high-yield varieties: introduction 25.8% in...
The elimination of seed shattering was a crucial event during crop domestication. Improving and fine-tuning the regulation this process will further enhance grain yield by avoiding losses production. In work, we identified loss-of-shattering mutant suppression shattering1 (ssh1) through screen mutagenized wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) introgression lines with naturally high shattering. Using MutMap approach transformation experiments, isolated genetic factor for shattering, SSH1, which is an...
Phytohormones play crucial roles in fruit set regulation and development. Here, gibberellins (GA4+7), but not GA3, induced pear parthenocarpy. To systematically investigate the changes upon GA4+7 parthenocarpy, dynamic histology, hormone transcript levels were observed identified unpollinated, pollinated GA4+7-treated ovaries. Mesocarp cells continued developing both In unpollinated ovaries, mesocarp stopped 14 days after anthesis. During process, GA4+7, GA1+3, increased pollination....
Grain size is an important yield-related trait in rice. Intensive artificial selection for grain during domestication evidenced by the larger grains of most today's cultivars compared with their wild relatives. However, molecular genetic control rice still not well characterized. Here, we report identification and cloning Size 6 (GS6), which plays role reducing A premature stop at +348 position coding sequence (CDS) GS6 increased width weight significantly. Alignment CDS regions 90 materials...
Summary Inflorescence branching is a key agronomic trait determining rice yield. The primary branch of the ancestral wild ( Oryza rufipogon Griff.) bears few grains, due to minimal secondary branching. By contrast, sativa cultivars have been selected produce large panicles with more branches. Here we showed that CONTROL OF SECONDARY BRANCH 1 COS ) gene, which identical FRIZZY PANICLE FZP ), plays an important role in transition from branches domesticated cultivars. A 4‐bp tandem repeat...
Abstract During the processes of rice domestication and improvement, a trade-off effect between grain number weight was major obstacle for increasing yield. Here, we identify critical gene COG1 , encoding transcription factor OsMADS17, with 65-bp deletion in 5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR) presented cultivated simultaneously through decreasing mRNA translation efficiency. OsMADS17 controls yield by regulating multiple genes that interaction one them, OsAP2-39 has been characterized. Besides,...
Low temperature is a major environmental stress for plants. Many important cultivated crops have limited capacity to survive below freezing/subfreezing temperatures. inorganic phosphate (Pi) reportedly in triggering cold acclimatization. SPX (SYG1/Pho81/XPR1: SYG1, suppressor of yeast gpal; Pho81, CDK inhibitor PHO pathway; XPR1, xenotropic and polytropic retrovirus receptor) domain proteins been shown be involved the phosphate-related signal transduction regulation pathways. Recently,...
