Transcriptome and Metabolome Analyses Reveal New Insights into the Regulatory Mechanism of Head Milled Rice Rate.

ABSTRACT: The head milled rice rate (HMRR) is the most important trait of milling quality, which affects the final yield and quality of rice. However, few genes related to HMRR have been identified and the regulatory mechanism of HMRR remains elusive. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis integrating the transcriptome sequencing of developing seeds at the grain-filling stage and a metabolome analysis of brown rice between two groups of accessions with contrasting performances in HMRR. A total of 768 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between the transcriptome profiles of low-HMRR and high-HMRR accessions. In comparison to the high-HMRR accessions, 655 DEGs were up-regulated in the low-HMRR accessions, which was 4.79 folds higher than the number of down-regulated genes
