Abstract The cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) phenotype in plants can be reversed by the action of nuclear-encoded fertility restorer (Rf) genes. molecular mechanism involved Rf gene–mediated processing CMS-associated transcripts is unclear, as are identities other proteins that may CMS–Rf interaction. In this study, we cloned gene Rf5 for Hong-Lian CMS rice and studied its restoration with respect to transcript atp6-orfH79. RF5, a pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein, was unable bind...
The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein family is a large characterized by tandem arrays of degenerate 35-amino-acid motif whose members function as important regulators organelle gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Despite roles PPRs in RNA editing organelles, their activities and underlying mechanism remain obscure. Here, we show that novel DYW motif-containing PPR protein, PPS1, associated with five conserved RNA-editing sites nad3 located close proximity to each other...
In land plants, the pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins form a large family involved in post-transcriptional processing of RNA mitochondria and chloroplasts, which is critical for plant development evolutionary adaption. Although studies showed number PPR generally influence editing organellar genes, few them were characterized detail rice. Here, we report PLS-E subclass protein rice, PPR756, loss function led to abolishment events among three mitochondrial genes including atp6, ccmC,...
<title>Abstract</title> Perennial Chinese rice is a novel type of germplasm native to China. This study comprehensively evaluated the variation in agronomic traits 20 perennial across four different planting seasons explore genetic diversity and effectively utilize them. A total 16 traits, including heading date, plant height, thousand-grain weight, were investigated based on field phenotypic values. The findings revealed significant variations among these with broad range Shannon–Wiener...
Summary Nitrogen (N) is critical for crop growth, and enhancing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) essential achieving high grain yields quality in production. In this study, we identified two transcription factors OsRF2b OsbZIP61, which localize the nucleus function as negative regulators of NUE yield rice. responds to supplies, overexpression resulted growth retardation, reduced content, lower transgenic lines, leading decreased yield. contrast, rf2b mutant exhibited increased plant height,...
Summary The restoration fertility complex ( RFC ) was previously identified in Honglian HL )‐cytoplasmic male sterility CMS rice Oryza sativa ), and glycine‐rich protein 162 GRP 162) is responsible for binding to the ‐associated transcript atp6‐orfH79 . Here, we engineered a recombinant containing mitochondrial transit peptide, termed Mt‐ 162, as an artificial restorer of Rf gene. confirmed bind RNA localize mitochondria. transgenic plants showed restored with partially functional pollen. We...
Summary Cytoplasmic male sterility ( CMS ) and restoration of fertility Rf are widely distributed in plant species utilized by humans. RF 5 GRP 162 subunits the complex RFC Hong‐Lian rice. Despite fact that is 400–500 kDa size, other proteins or factors still remain unknown. Here, we identified subunit 3, which encodes a DUF 1620‐containing WD 40‐like repeat protein 3) present all tissues but highly expressed leaves. We established 3 interacts with both vitro vivo , transported into...
Abstract U nderstanding the field performance on grain yield and quality genetic diversity of overwintering (OW) cultivated rice ( Oryza sativa L.) across main crop (MC) ratooning (RC) is premise to make strategies for future OW variety improvement in production.

Transcription factors (TFs) are indispensable components of transcriptional regulatory pathways involved in crop growth and development. Herein, we developed a new method for the identification upstream TFs specific to genes crops based on binding affinities biotin avidin. First, constructed verified avidin system (BAS) by coprecipitation assay. Subsequently, feasibility DNA-based BAS (DBAS) was further proved vivo vitro assays. Furthermore, cloned promoter rice OsNRT1.1B possible regulators...
The rice mutant mp3 was derived from an indica–japonica cross between Rejing35 and XieqingzaoB, producing inconstant number of pistils ranging one to four in a floret at heading stage, which also developed open-glume with or two seeds twin seedlings mature seedling stage. Several altered characteristics, including filling grain panicle–1 (62.90), grain-setting rate (60.48%) yield plant–1 (13.42 g), decreased but increase 1000-grain weight (36.87 g) observed. Genetic analysis revealed that...
Improving plant nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is important for many crops, especially in hybrid breeding. Reducing inputs key achieving sustainable rice production and decreasing environmental problems. Here, we analyzed the transcriptomic physiological changes two indica restorer lines (Nanhui511 Minghui23) under high (HN) low (LN) conditions. Nanhui511 (NH511) was more sensitive to different supplies exhibited higher uptake NUE HN conditions by increasing lateral root tiller numbers...
