Success of modern agriculture relies heavily on breeding crops with maximal regional adaptability and yield potentials. A major limiting factor for crop cultivation is their flowering time, which strongly regulated by day length (photoperiod) temperature. Here we report identification characterization Days to heading 7 (DTH7), a genetic locus underlying photoperiod sensitivity grain in rice. Map-based cloning reveals that DTH7 encodes pseudo-response regulator protein its expression...
Starch is the most widespread form of energy storage in plant kingdom. Although many enzymes and related factors have been identified for starch biosynthesis, unknown players remain to be identified, given that it a complicated sophisticated process. The endosperm rice (Oryza sativa) has used study synthesis. Here, we report cloning characterization FLOURY ENDOSPERM6 (FLO6) gene rice. In flo6 mutant, content decreased normal physicochemical features are changed. Significantly, mutant cells...
Land plants have evolved increasingly complex regulatory modes of their flowering time (or heading date in crops). Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a short-day plant that flowers more rapidly but delays under long-day conditions. Previous studies shown the CO-FT module initially identified (Arabidopsis) evolutionary conserved (Hd1-Hd3a rice). However, rice, there unique Ehd1-dependent pathway Hd1-independent. Here, we report isolation and characterization positive regulator Ehd1, Early 4 (Ehd4)....
Flowering time (i.e., heading date in crops) is an important ecological trait that determines growing seasons and regional adaptability of plants to specific natural environments. Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) a short-day plant originated the tropics. Increasing evidence suggests northward expansion cultivated rice was accompanied by human selection under noninductive long-day (LD) conditions. We report here molecular cloning characterization DTH2 (for Days on chromosome 2 ), minor-effect...
Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae poses a major threat to rice production worldwide. The utilization of host resistance (R) genes is considered be the most effective and economic means control blast. Here, we show that japonica landrace Yangmaogu (YMG) displays broader spectrum isolates than other previously reported broad-spectrum resistant (BSR) cultivars. Genetic analysis suggested YMG contains at least three R genes. One gene, Pi64, which exhibits indica-sourced isolate CH43...
Rice glutelins are synthesized at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as precursors (pro-glutelins), and transported to protein storage vacuoles, where they processed into mature proteins. The molecular basis of this process is largely unknown. Here, we report isolation a rice mutant, gpa1, that accumulates 57 kDa pro-glutelins in seeds whose endosperm has floury appearance. Transmission electron microscopy analysis showed gpa1 cells have an enlarged ER lumen smaller body II (PBII), accumulated...
The plastidic caseinolytic protease (Clp) of higher plants is an evolutionarily conserved protein degradation apparatus composed a proteolytic core complex (the P and R rings) set accessory proteins (ClpT, ClpC, ClpS). role molecular composition Clps in has just begun to be unraveled, mostly from studies with the model dicotyledonous plant Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). In this work, we isolated virescent yellow leaf (vyl) mutant rice (Oryza sativa), which produces chlorotic leaves...
Abstract In seed plants, a major pathway for sorting of storage proteins to the protein vacuole (PSV) depends on Golgi-derived dense vesicles (DVs). However, molecular mechanisms regulating directional trafficking DVs PSVs remain largely elusive. Here, we report functional characterization rice (Oryza sativa) glutelin precursor accumulation3 (gpa3) mutant, which exhibits floury endosperm phenotype and accumulates excess proglutelins in dry seeds. Cytological immunocytochemistry studies...
Low temperature (LT) is one of the most prevalent factors limiting productivity and geographical distribution rice (Oryza sativa L.). Although significant progress has been made in elucidating effect LT on seed germination reproductive development rice, genetic component affecting vegetative growth under remains poorly understood. Here, we report that cultivars harboring dominant LTG1 (Low Temperature Growth 1) allele are more tolerant to (15-25°C, a range high-altitude, temperate zones...
Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins comprise a large family in higher plants and perform diverse functions organellar RNA metabolism. Despite the rice genome encodes 477 PRR proteins, regulatory effects of on chloroplast development remains unknown. In this study, we report functional characterization white stripe leaf4 (wsl4) mutant. The wsl4 mutant develops white-striped leaves during early leaf development, characterized by decreased chlorophyll content malformed chloroplasts....
Plant breeding relies on creation of novel allelic combinations for desired traits. Identification and utilization beneficial alleles, rare alleles evolutionarily conserved genes in the germplasm (referred to as 'hidden' genes) provide an effective approach achieve this goal. Here we show that a chemically induced null mutation gene, FUWA, alters multiple important agronomic traits rice, including panicle architecture, grain shape weight. FUWA encodes NHL domain-containing protein, with...
Abstract Blast, caused by Magnaporthe grisea is one of most serious diseases rice worldwide. A Chinese local variety, Digu, with durable blast resistance, the important resources for breeding resistance to ( M. ) in China. The objectives current study were assess identity genes Digu and determine chromosomal location molecular marker tagging. Two susceptible varieties blast, Lijiangxintuanheigu (LTH) Jiangnanxiangnuo (JNXN), a number different varieties, each containing gene, Pik s , Pia Pi...
The shoot apical meristem (SAM) consists of a population multipotent cells that generates all aerial structures and regenerates itself. SAM maintenance lateral organ development are regulated by several complex signaling pathways, in which the Argonaute gene-mediated pathway plays key role. One gene, AGO10, functions as microRNA locker attenuates miR165/166 activity positively regulates development, but little is known about when how AGO10 at transcriptional level. In this work, we showed...
