Project description:Grain length is a prominent determinant for the grain weight and appearance quality of rice. To elucidate the genetic basis of the control of grain length, we conducted quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping to determine a genomic interval responsible for the a long-grain phenotype observed in a japonica cultivar HD385 by using an F2:3 population and recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, which is are derived from a cross between the long-grain japonica cultivar HD385 and short-grain japonica cultivar Nipponbare (NIP). This led to the identification of a novel QTL, which is located on chromosome 3, for grain length, named qIGL1 (for Increased Grain Length 1); the HD385-derived allele showed enhancement effects on grain length, and such an allele as well as NIP-derived allele are were thus designated qigl1 HD385 and qIGL1NIP, respectively. Genetic analysis revealed that qigl1HD385 displayed semi-dominant effects on grain length. To further narrow down the qIGL1 region, we developed a few advanced backcross populations to determine the precise location of qIGL1. Eventually, qIGL1 was delimited to a 70.8-kb region containing 9 open reading frames (ORFs). A comprehensive analysis indicated that ORF6 and ORF9, separately corresponding to LOC_Os03g30530 and LOC_Os03g30550, are were found to carry base substitutions and/or deletions, which resulted in changes or losses of amino acid residues. However, these alterations in coding sequences does did not significantly change the expression levels of both ORFs. To further elucidate the mechanisms behind the increases of grain length conferred by qigl1HD385, we generated a pair of near-isogenic lines (NILs), termed NIL-qigl1HD385 and NIL-qIGL1NIP, and discovered that introduction of qigl1HD385 into the NIP background significantly lead resulted into the elevations of grain length and 1000-grain weight. Closer inspection of outer epidermal cells of grain surfaces of both lines revealed that the cell length and width in the longitudinal direction are were significantly longer in NIL-qigl1HD385 compared with in NIL-qIGL1NIP, which may might stem partly from the downregulation of several cell cycle-related genes. Hence, our study studies identify identified a new semi-dominant natural allele contributing to the increase of grain length, and further shed light on the regulatory mechanisms of grain length.

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.

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:We generated multiple NILs segregating for the 4A-1 QTL following a method based on HIFs analysis. Five F7 RILs from the mapping population were chosen as founders of HIFs on the basis of being heterozygote for the 4A-1 QTL region, while maximizing homozygosity for the background genome (about 97 % homozygosis). From them, five F8 HIFs were obtained by self-pollination and were phenotyped and genotyped. In every HIF, homozygote individuals for the Yitpi allele showed low GI while homozygous for the other alleles showed high GI. Heterozygous individuals showed intermediate GI values in at least four out of the five HIFs. From each HIF, homozygous individuals with contrasting QTL effects were selected and self-pollinated to generate five F9 sets of NILs. Those NILs were finally grown together with the four parent varieties, and grain samples collected at 15, 25 and 35 days post-anthesis (DPA). RNA was isolated from those samples and pooled together in two groups, one containing all samples coming from NILs carrying the QTL (pool A) and the other containing all samples coming from NILs without the QTL (pool B). Samples collected from the four parents at the same DPA were also included in the corresponding RNA pool. This innovative pooling approach allowed us to distinguish a real signal coming from the targeted selected region (segregating equally in each set of NILs) while background noise coming from the rest of the genome is neutralized (different in every set of NILs).

Project description:Rice grain yield is predicted to decrease in the future because of an increase in tropospheric ozone concentration. However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we investigated the responses to ozone of two rice (Oryza Sativa L.) cultivars, Sasanishiki and Habataki. Sasanishiki showed ozone-induced leaf injury, but no grain yield loss. By contrast, Habataki showed grain yield loss with minimal leaf injury. A QTL associated with grain yield loss caused by ozone was identified in Sasanishiki/Habataki chromosome segment substitution lines and included the ABERRANT PANICLE ORGANIZATION 1 (APO1) gene. The Habataki allele of the APO1 locus in a near-isogenic line also resulted in grain yield loss upon ozone exposure, suggesting APO1 involvement in ozone-induced yield loss. Only a few differences in the APO1 amino acid sequences were detected between the cultivars, but the APO1 transcript level was oppositely regulated by ozone exposure: i.e., it increased in Sasanishiki and decreased in Habataki. Interestingly, the levels of some phytohormones (jasmonic acid, jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine, and abscisic acid) known to be involved in attenuation of ozone-induced leaf injury tended to decrease in Sasanishiki but to increase in Habataki upon ozone exposure. These data indicate that ozone-induced grain yield loss in Habataki is caused by a reduction in the APO1 transcript level through an increase in the levels of phytohormones that reduce leaf damage.

Project description:Grain length (GL) is one of the crucial determinants of rice yield and quality. However, there is still a shortage of knowledge on the major genes controlling the inheritance of GL in japonica rice, which severely limits the improvement of japonica rice yields. Here, we systemically measured the GL of 667 F2 and 1570 BC3F3 individuals derived from two cultivated rice cultivars, Pin20 and Songjing15, in order to identify the major genomic regions associated with GL. A novel major QTL, qGL9.1, was mapped on chromosome 9, which is associated with the GL, using whole-genome re-sequencing with bulked segregant analysis. Local QTL linkage analysis with F2 and fine mapping with the recombinant plant revealed a 93-kb core region on qGL9.1 encoding 15 protein-coding genes. Only the expression level of LOC_Os09g26970 was significantly different between the two parents at different stages of grain development. Moreover, haplotype analysis revealed that the alleles of Pin20 contribute to the optimal GL (9.36 mm) and GL/W (3.31), suggesting that Pin20 is a cultivated species carrying the optimal GL variation of LOC_Os09g26970. Furthermore, a functional-type mutation (16398989-bp, G>A) located on an exon of LOC_Os09g26970 could be used as a molecular marker to distinguish between long and short grains. Our experiments identified LOC_Os09g26970 as a novel gene associated with GL in japonica rice. This result is expected to further the exploration of the genetic mechanism of rice GL and improve GL in rice japonica varieties by marker-assisted selection.

Project description:BackgroundGrain length (GL) that is directly associated with appearance quality is a key target of selection in rice breeding. Although abundant quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with GL have been identified, it was still relatively weak to identify QTL for GL from japonica genetic background, as the shortage of japonica germplasms with long grains. We performed QTLs analysis for GL using a recombinant inbred lines (RILs) population derived from the cross between japonica variety GY8 (short grains) and LX1 (long grains) in four environments.ResultsA total of 197 RILs were genotyped with 285 polymorphic SNP markers. Three QTLs qGL5.3, qGL6.1 and qGL11 were detected to control GL by individual environmental analyses and multi-environment joint analysis. Of these, a major-effect and stable QTL qGL6.1 was identified to be a novel QTL, and its LX1 allele had a positive effect on GL. For fine-mapping qGL6.1, a BC1F2 population consisting of 2,487 individuals was developed from a backcross between GY8 and R176, one line with long grain. Eight key informative recombinants were identified by nine kompetitive allele specific PCR (KASP) markers. By analyzing key recombinants, the qGL6.1 locus was narrowed down to a 40.41 kb genomic interval on chromosome 6. One candidate gene LOC_Os06g43304.1 encoding cytochrome P450 (CYP71D55) was finally selected based on the difference in the transcriptional expression and variations in its upstream and downstream region.ConclusionsThree QTLs qGL5.3, qGL6.1 and qGL11 were identified to control grain length in rice. One novel QTL qGL6.1 was fine mapped within 40.41 kb region, and LOC_Os06g43304.1 encoding cytochrome P450 (CYP71D55) may be its candidate gene. We propose that the further cloning of the qGL6.1 will facilitate improving appearance quality in japonica varieties.

Project description:Grain weight is an important crop yield component; however, its underlying regulatory mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we identify a grain-weight quantitative trait locus (QTL) encoding a new-type GNAT-like protein that harbors intrinsic histone acetyltransferase activity (OsglHAT1). Our genetic and molecular evidences pinpointed the QTL-OsglHAT1’s allelic variations to a 1.2-kilobase region upstream of the gene body, which is consistent with its function as a positive regulator of the traits. Elevated OsglHAT1 expression enhances grain weight and yield by enlarging spikelet hulls via increasing cell number and accelerating grain filling, and increases global acetylation levels of histone H4. OsglHAT1 localizes to the nucleus, where it likely functions through the regulation of transcription. Despite its positive agronomical effects on grain weight, yield and plant biomass, the rare allele elevating OsglHAT1 expression has so far escaped human selection. Our findings reveal the first example, to our knowledge, of a QTL for a yield component trait being due to a chromatin modifier that has the potential to improve crop high-yield breeding.

Ozone induced gene expression in rice inflorescence meristem was measured at 6 month after exposure to dose of 43.7 nL L-1 (ambient air) and 85.7 nL L-1 (2-fold concentration compared to ambient air) (12 hours mean). The two culticars, Sasanishiki and Habataki, were used for each experiment.
