Project description:The widespread agricultural problem of pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) could potentially be overcome by improving seed dormancy. Here, we report that miR156, an important grain yield regulator, also controls seed dormancy in rice. We found that mutations in one MIR156 subfamily enhance seed dormancy and suppress PHS with negligible effects on shoot architecture and grain size, whereas mutations in another MIR156 subfamily modify shoot architecture and increase grain size but have minimal effects on seed dormancy. Mechanistically, mir156 mutations enhance seed dormancy by suppressing the gibberellin (GA) pathway through de-represssion of the miR156 target gene Ideal Plant Architecture 1 (IPA1), which directly regulates multiple genes in the GA pathway. These results provide an effective method to suppress PHS without compromising productivity, and will facilitate breeding elite crop varieties with ideal plant architectures.

Project description:miR396 is a key growth regulator in plants, however, the molecular mechanisms underlying its functions remained to be revealed. Here, through systematically gene-editing, we found that among the MIR396 family genes, MIR396e and -f were the main regulators of rice growth. mir396ef mutations could increase the grain yield through significantly enlarging the grain size. In addition, mir396ef mutations promoted the seedling growth and modulated the plant architecture by promoting the elongations of leaves (including leaf blades and sheaths) and panicles but suppressing the elongation of internodes, especially the uppermost internode. Our research reveals that mir396ef mutations promote the growth and organ elongation by significantly increasing the level of the gibberellin (GA) precursor, mevalonic acid (MVA), which subsequently activates the GA pathway. Our results also indicate that miR396 regulates the internode elongation through a different mechanism (probably through controlling SD37 expression) from the GA pathway. These results reveal two pathways by which miR396 regulates rice growth and provide valuable gene-editing targets to increase rice productivity.

Project description:Regulation of grain size is a crucial strategy for improving crop yield and is also a fundamental aspect of developmental biology. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing grain development in wheat remain largely unknown. In this study, we identified a wheat atypical basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, TabHLH489, which is tightly associated with grain length through genome-wide association study and map-based cloning. Knockout of TabHLH489 and its homologous genes resulted in increased grain length and weight, whereas overexpression led to decreased grain length and weight. TaSnRK1α1, the α-catalytic subunit of plant energy sensor SnRK1, interacted with and phosphorylated TabHLH489 to induce its degradation, thereby promoting wheat grain development. Sugar treatment induced TaSnRK1α1 protein accumulation while reducing TabHLH489 protein levels. Moreover, brassinosteroid (BR) promotes grain development by decreasing TabHLH489 expression through the transcription factor BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT1 (BZR1). Importantly, natural variations in the promoter region of TabHLH489 affect the TaBZR1 binding ability, thereby influencing TabHLH489 expression. Taken together, our findings reveal that the TaSnRK1α1-TabHLH489 regulatory module integrates BR and sugar signaling to regulate grain length, presenting potential targets for enhancing grain size in wheat.

Project description:In rice (Oryza sativa L.), the number of panicles, spikelets per panicle and grain weight are important components of grain yield. These characteristics are controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and are derived from variation inherent in crops.The identification of different yield related QTLs facilitates an understanding of the mechanisms involved in cereal crop yield, and may have utility in improving grain yield in cereal crops. an understanding of the mechanisms involved in cereal crop yield, and may have utility in improving grain yield in cereal crops. In the present study, We cloned and characterized a large-panicle QTL, and confirmed that the newly identified gene OsEBS (enhancing biomass and spikelet number) increased plant height, leaf size and spikelet number per panicle, leading to an average of 37.62% increase in total grain yield per plant. trait loci (QTLs) and are derived from variation inherent in crops.

Project description:Most developmental processes associated with fruit patterning take place at the floral meristem (FM). Age-regulated microRNA156 (miR156) and gibberellins (GA) integrate to control flowering time, but it is unclear how GA and miR156 interplay during fruit patterning. Here, we used genetic, molecular, and imaging tools to demonstrate that GA and age synergistically control tomato reproductive development. We found that low levels of miR156-targeted SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN–LIKE (SPL/SBP) transcripts or high GA responses/levels led to enlarged FMs, defects in FM determinacy, and fruits with increased locule number. Conversely, low GA responses reduced locule number and indeterminacy, and the expression of a miR156-resistant form of SlSBP15 (rSBP15) reduces FM size by decreasing cell size and cell number. Importantly, we discovered that GA levels/responses may be partially responsible for the fruit defects observed in 156OE and rSBP15 plants. GA and miR156-targeted SlSBPs regulate classical genes associated with floral determinacy, such as CRABS CLAWa (SlCRCa), and GA and SlSBPs act synergistically with tomato CLAVATA3 (SlCLV3) to control early flower and fruit development. Our findings indicate that gibberellins and age-dependent miR156-targeted SlSBPs co-operate to regulate FM activity and locule formation, thereby offering a novel mechanism of controlling fruit patterning.

Project description:Plant-specific growth-regulating factors (GRFs) participate in multiple central developmental processes including root and leaf development, flower and seed formation, plant senescence, and tolerance to stress. While the role of the miRNA-GRFs regulatory module in determining gross morphology, which is one of the most important agronomic traits for crops, have not been comprehensively unraveled yet. Here, we reported that OsGRF7, a target of miR396e and co-activated with OsGIFs, is essential for determining plant architecture in rice. Overexpression of OsGRF7 leads to decreased tiller number, leaf length and leaf angle, reduced plant height and increased grain size, which are mediated by shortened cell length and disordered cell arrangement. Further analyses indicate that OsGRF7 binds the ACRGDA motif in promoters of OsNSP2, OsGASR1 and OsCYP714B1, OsCga1 and OsARF12, which are involved in the synthesis of strigolactones, gibberellins and cytokinins or related to auxin signaling pathway. Our findings establish OsGRF7 as a crucial component in the miR396-OsGRFs/OsGIFs-plant hormone regulatory network that controls rice growth and plant architecture.This dataset records the differential expressed genes between GRF7OE and WT plants.

Project description:Plant height and grain size are important agronomic traits affecting rice yield. Various plant hormones participate in the regulation of plant height and grain size in rice. However, how these hormones cooperate to regulate plant height and grain size is poorly understood. In this study, we identified a brassinosteroid-related gene, hfr131, from an introgression line constructed using Oryza longistaminata, that caused brassinosteroid insensitivity and reduced plant height and grain length in rice. Further study showed that hfr131 is a new allele of OsBRI1 with a single-nucleotide polymorphism (G to A) in the coding region, leading to a T988I conversion at a conserved site of the kinase domain. An auxin response factor, OsARF17, could bind to the promoter region of HFR131 and positively regulated HFR131 expression, thereby regulating the plant height and grain length, and influencing brassinosteroid sensitivity. Haplotype analysis showed that the consociation of OsAFR17Hap1/HFR131Hap6 conferred an increase in grain length. Overall, this study identified hfr131 as a new allele of OsBRI1 that regulates plant height and grain length in rice, revealed that brassinosteroid and auxin might coordinate through OsARF17–HFR131 interaction, and provided a potential breeding target for improvement of rice yield.
