Background
Calcium signaling plays a prominent role in plants for coordinating a wide range of developmental processes and responses to environmental cues. Stimulus-specific generation of intracellular calcium transients, decoding of calcium signatures, and transformation of the signal into cellular responses are integral modules of the transduction process. Several hundred proteins with functions in calcium signaling circuits have been identified, and the number of downstream targets of calcium sensors is expected to increase. We previously identified a novel, calmodulin-binding nuclear protein, IQD1, which stimulates glucosinolate accumulation and plant defense in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we present a comparative genome-wide analysis of a new class of putative calmodulin target proteins in Arabidopsis and rice. 相似文献2.

Members of the YABBY gene family have a general role that promotes abaxial cell fate in a model eudicot, Arabidopsis thaliana. To understand the function of YABBY genes in monocots, we have isolated all YABBY genes in Oryza sativa (rice), and revealed the spatial and temporal expression pattern of one of these genes, OsYABBY1. In rice, eight YABBY genes constitute a small gene family and are classified into four groups according to sequence similarity, exon-intron structure, and organ-specific expression patterns. OsYABBY1 shows unique spatial expression patterns that have not previously been reported for other YABBY genes, so far. OsYABBY1 is expressed in putative precursor cells of both the mestome sheath in the large vascular bundle and the abaxial sclerenchyma in the leaves. In the flower, OsYABBY1 is specifically expressed in the palea and lemma from their inception, and is confined to several cell layers of these organs in the later developmental stages. The OsYABBY1-expressing domains are closely associated with cells that subsequently differentiate into sclerenchymatous cells. These findings suggest that the function of OsYABBY1 is involved in regulating the differentiation of a few specific cell types and is unrelated to polar regulation of lateral organ development. 相似文献

To elucidate the role of SSIIIa during starch synthesis in rice (Oryza sativa L.) endosperm, we characterized null mutants of this gene, generated by T-DNA insertions. Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
analysis revealed that the starch granules in these mutants are smaller and rounder compared with the wild type controls,
and that the mutant endosperm is characterized by a loosely packed central portion exhibiting a floury-like phenotype. Hence,
the OsSSIIIa (Oryza sativa SSIIIa) mutations are referred to as white-core floury endosperm 5-1 (flo5-1) and flo5-2. Based upon their X-ray diffraction patterns, the crystallinity of the starch in the flo5 mutant endosperm is decreased compared with wild type. Through determination of the chain-length distribution of the mutant
endosperm starch, we found that flo5-1 and flo5-2 mutants have reduced the content of long chains with degree of polymerization (DP) 30 or greater compared with the controls.
This suggests that OsSSIIIa/Flo5 plays an important role in generating relatively long chains in rice endosperm. In addition,
DP 6 to 8 and DP 16 to 20 appeared to be reduced in endosperm starch of flo5-1 and flo5-2, whereas DP 9 to 15 and DP 22 to 29 were increased in these mutants. By the use of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),
the gelatinization temperatures of endosperm starch were found to be 1–5°C lower than those of the control. We propose a distinct
role for OsSSIIIa/Flo5 and the coordinated action of other SS isoforms during starch synthesis in the seed endosperm of rice. 相似文献

Wild rice is a valuable resource for the genetic improvement of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L., AA genome). Molecular markers are important tools for monitoring gene introgression from wild rice into cultivated rice. In this study, Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to analyze interspecific hybrids of O. sativa-O. officinalis (CC genome), the backcrossing progenies and the parent plants. Results showed that most of the SSR primers (335 out of 396, 84.6%) developed in cultivated rice successfully amplified products from DNA samples of wild rice O. officinalis. The polymorphism ratio of SSR bands between O. sativa and O. officinalis was as high as 93.9%, indicating differences between the two species with respect to SSRs. When the SSR markers were applied in the interspecific hybrids, only a portion of SSR primers amplified O. officinalis-specific bands in the F(1) hybrid (52.5%), BC(1) (52.5%), and MAALs (37.0%); a number of the bands disappeared. Of the 124 SSR loci that detected officinalis-specific bands in MAAL plants, 96 (77.4%) showed synteny between the A and C-genomes, and 20 (16.1%) showed duplication in the C-genome. Sequencing analysis revealed that indels, substitution and duplication contribute to the diversity of SSR loci between the genomes of O. sativa and O. officinalis. 相似文献

Enzymes of the chalcone synthase (CHS) superfamily catalyze the production of a variety of secondary metabolites in bacteria,
fungi and plants. Some of these metabolites have played important roles during the early evolution of land plants by providing
protection from various environmental assaults including UV irradiation. The genome of the moss, Physcomitrella patens, contains at least 17 putative CHS superfamily genes. Three of these genes (PpCHS2b, PpCHS3 and PpCHS5) exist in multiple copies and all have corresponding ESTs. PpCHS11 and probably also PpCHS9 encode non-CHS enzymes, while PpCHS10 appears to be an ortholog of plant genes encoding anther-specific CHS-like enzymes. It was inferred from the genomic locations
of genes comprising it that the moss CHS superfamily expanded through tandem and segmental duplication events. Inferred exon–intron architectures and results from
phylogenetic analysis of representative CHS superfamily genes of P. patens and other plants showed that intron gain and loss occurred several times during evolution of this gene superfamily. A high
proportion of P. patens
CHS genes (7 of 14 genes for which the full sequence is known and probably 3 additional genes) are intronless, prompting speculation
that CHS gene duplication via retrotransposition has occurred at least twice in the moss lineage. Analyses of sequence similarities,
catalytic motifs and EST data indicated that a surprisingly large number (as many as 13) of the moss CHS superfamily genes probably encode active CHS. EST distribution data and different light responsiveness observed with selected
genes provide evidence for their differential regulation. Observed diversity within the moss CHS superfamily and amenability to gene manipulation make Physcomitrella a highly suitable model system for studying expansion
and functional diversification of the plant CHS superfamily of genes. 相似文献

A comprehensive expression analysis of the starch synthase gene family in rice (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Oryza sativa</Emphasis> L.) 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
To elucidate the roles of the isogenes encoding starch synthase (EC 2.4.1.21) in rice (Oryza sativa L.), a comprehensive expression analysis of the gene family was conducted. Extensive searches for starch synthase genes were done in the databases of both the whole genome and full-length cDNAs of rice, and ten genes were revealed to comprise the starch synthase gene family. Multi-sequence alignment analysis of the starch synthase proteins from rice and other plant species suggested that they were grouped into five classes, soluble starch synthase I (SSI), SSII, SSIII, SSIV and granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS). In rice, there was one gene for SSI, three for SSII and two each for SSIII, IV and GBSS. The expression pattern of the ten genes in the developing caryopsis was examined by semi-quantitative RT–PCR analysis. Based on the temporal expression patterns, the ten genes could be divided into three groups: (i) early expressers (SSII-2, III-1, GBSSII), which are expressed in the early stage of grain filling; (ii) late expressers (SSII-3, III-2, GBSSI), which are expressed in the mid to later stage of grain filling; and (iii) steady expressers (SSI, II-1, IV-1, IV-2), which are expressed relatively constantly during grain filling. Within a caryopsis, the three gene groups spatially share their expression, i.e. early expressers in the pericarp, the late expressers in the endosperm and the steady expressers in both tissues. In addition, this grouping was reflected in the expression pattern of various rice tissues: expression in non-endosperm, endosperm or all tissues examined. The implications in this spatio-temporal work sharing of starch synthesis isogenes are discussed.Abbreviations DAF Days after flowering - GBSS Granule-bound starch synthase - SS Soluble starch synthase 相似文献

Background
Cyclic nucleotides are ubiquitous intracellular messengers. Until recently, the roles of cyclic nucleotides in plant cells have proven difficult to uncover. With an understanding of the protein domains which can bind cyclic nucleotides (CNB and GAF domains) we scanned the completed genomes of the higher plants Arabidopsis thaliana (mustard weed) and Oryza sativa (rice) for the effectors of these signalling molecules. 相似文献11.

The split-hull phenotype caused by reduced lemma width and low lignin content is under control of SPH encoding a type-2 13-lipoxygenase and contributes to high dehulling efficiency.Abstract
Rice hulls consist of two bract-like structures, the lemma and palea. The hull is an important organ that helps to protect seeds from environmental stress, determines seed shape, and ensures grain filling. Achieving optimal hull size and morphology is beneficial for seed development. We characterized the split-hull (sph) mutant in rice, which exhibits hull splitting in the interlocking part between lemma and palea and/or the folded part of the lemma during the grain filling stage. Morphological and chemical analysis revealed that reduction in the width of the lemma and lignin content of the hull in the sph mutant might be the cause of hull splitting. Genetic analysis indicated that the mutant phenotype was controlled by a single recessive gene, sph (Os04g0447100), which encodes a type-2 13-lipoxygenase. SPH knockout and knockdown transgenic plants displayed the same split-hull phenotype as in the mutant. The sph mutant showed significantly higher linoleic and linolenic acid (substrates of lipoxygenase) contents in spikelets compared to the wild type. It is probably due to the genetic defect of SPH and subsequent decrease in lipoxygenase activity. In dehulling experiment, the sph mutant showed high dehulling efficiency even by a weak tearing force in a dehulling machine. Collectively, the results provide a basis for understanding of the functional role of lipoxygenase in structure and maintenance of hulls, and would facilitate breeding of easy-dehulling rice.12.
In this research, through the analyzing of the Triticum aestivum salt-tolerant mutant gene expression profile, under salt stress. A brand new gene with unknown functions induced by salt was cloned. The cloned gene was named Triticum aestivum salt stress protein (TaSST). GenBank accession number of TaSST is ACH97119. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results exhibited that the expression TaSST was induced by salt, abscisic acid (ABA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG). TaSST could improve salt tolerance of Arabidopsis-overexpressed TaSST. After salt stress, physiological indexes of transgenic Arabidopsis were better compared with WT (wild-type) plants. TaSST was mainly located in the cytomembrane. qPCR analyzed the expression levels of nine tolerance-related genes of Arabidopsis in TaSST-overexpressing Arabidopsis. Results showed that the expression levels of SOS3, SOS2, KIN2, and COR15a significantly increased, whereas the expression of the five other genes showed no obvious change. OsI_01272, the homologous gene of TaSST in rice, was interfered using RNA interference (RNAi) technique. RNAi plants became more sensitive to salt than control plants. Thus, we speculate that TaSST can improve plant salt tolerance. 相似文献

Distant hybridization between rice species and their genome interactions have become the hot points of genetic research. The
new formed hybrid was unstable and many of the alien chromosomes would be excluded out in the meiosis procedure. In this study,
we investigated the phenomenon that the monosomic alien addition lines (MAALs) of Oryza officinalis (CC)–Oryza sativa (AA) inherited in the genomic and cytoplasmic environments of cultivated rice. In a series of backcross programs, every time
the MAALs were backcrossed with the recurrent parent Hejiang19, we get a portion of the backcross progenies that were similar
to the female parent MAALs in morphological characters (with rolled leaves) and chromosome constitutions (2n + 1). The monosomic
alien chromosome exhibited stable inheritance in the genomic and cytoplasmic environments of cultivated rice. Molecular biology
and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses on mitotic cells showed that the alien chromosomes in MAALs were inclined
to be transferred integrated into the backcross progenies with rolled leaves and no big fragments of alien chromosomes introgressing
into the chromosomes of cultivated rice. By FISH analysis on the meiotic cells, we proved that the single alien chromosome
performing nonstandard meiosis and behaving like a dispensable genetic factor, which would be the cytological reasons for
the stable inheritance of alien chromosomes. 相似文献

Plant height is one of the most important agronomic traits of plant architecture, and also affects grain yield in rice. In this study, we obtained a novel dwarf rice mutant of japonica variety Shennong9816, designated Shennong9816d. Compared with wild-type, the Shennong9816d plant height was significantly reduced, and the tiller number significantly increased. Additionally, the mutant yield component, and the number of large and small vascular bundles were significantly decreased compared with wild-type. Genetic analysis indicated that the Shennong9816d dwarf phenotype was controlled by a recessive nuclear gene, while the plant was shown to be sensitive to gibberellic acid. Using a large F2 population derived from a cross between Shennong9816d and the indica rice variety Habataki, the osh15(t) gene was fine mapped between RM20891 and RM20898, within a physical distance of 73.78 kb. Sequencing analysis showed that Shennong9816d carries a 1 bp mutation and a 30 bp insertion in the OSH15 region. These results suggest that osh15(t) is a novel allelic mutant originally derived from japonica variety Shennong9816, which may be useful for introducing the semi-dwarf phenotype to improve plant architecture in rice breeding practice. 相似文献

The chromogen gene C is critical for anthocyanin regulation in rice, and apiculus color is an important agronomic trait in selective breeding and variety purification. Mapbased cloning and in-depth functional analysis of the C gene will be useful for understanding the molecular mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis and for rice breeding. Japonica landrace Lijiangxintuanheigu (LTH) has red apiculi and purple stigmas. Genetic analysis showed that red apiculus and purple stigma in LTH co-segregated indicating control by a single dominant gene, or by two completely linked genes. Using 1,851 recessive individuals from two F2 populations, the target gene OsC was delimited to a 70.8 kb interval on chromosome 6 that contains the rice homologue of the maize anthocyanin regulatory gene C1. When the entire OsC gene and its full-length cDNA cloned from LTH were transformed into japonica cultivar Kitaake with colorless apiculi and stigmas all positive transformants had red apiculi but non-colored stigmas, validating that OsC alone was responsible for the apiculus color and represented the functional C gene. OsC was constitutively expressed in all tissues examined, with strongest expression in leaf blades. These results set a foundation to clarify the regulatory mechanisms of OsC in the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway. 相似文献

Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) is a rapid and cost-effective genome-wide genotyping technique applicable whether a reference genome is available or not. Due to the cost-coverage trade-off, however, GBS typically produces large amounts of missing marker genotypes, whose imputation becomes therefore both challenging and critical for later analyses. In this work, the performance of four general imputation methods (K-nearest neighbors, Random Forest, singular value decomposition, and mean value) and two genotype-specific methods (“Beagle” and FILLIN) was measured on GBS data from alfalfa (Medicago sativa L., autotetraploid, heterozygous, without reference genome) and rice (Oryza sativa L., diploid, 100 % homozygous, with reference genome). Alfalfa SNP were aligned on the genome of the closely related species Medicago truncatula L.. Benchmarks consisted in progressive data filtering for marker call rate (up to 70 %) and increasing proportions (up to 20 %) of known genotypes masked for imputation. The relative performance was measured as the total proportion of correctly imputed genotypes, globally and within each genotype class (two homozygotes in rice, two homozygotes and one heterozygote in alfalfa). We found that imputation accuracy was robust to increasing missing rates, and consistently higher in rice than in alfalfa. Accuracy was as high as 90–100 % for the major (most frequent) homozygous genotype, but dropped to 80–90 % (rice) and below 30 % (alfalfa) in the minor homozygous genotype. Beagle was the best performing method, both accuracy- and time-wise, in rice. In alfalfa, KNNI and RFI gave the highest accuracies, but KNNI was much faster. 相似文献

Wild rice genotypes are rich in genetic diversity. This has potential to improve agronomic rice by allele mining for superior traits. Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are often associated with desiccation tolerance and stress signalling. In the present study, a group 3 LEA gene, Wsi18 from the wild rice Oryza nivara was expressed under its own inducible promoter element in stress susceptible cultivated indica rice (cv. IR20). The resulting transgenic plants cultivated in a greenhouse showed enhanced tolerance to soil water deficit. Transgenic plants had higher grain yield, plant survival rate, and shoot relative water content compared to wild type (WT) IR20. Cell membrane stability index, proline and soluble sugar content were also greater in transgenic than WT plants under water stress. These results demonstrate the potential for improving SWS tolerance in agronomically important rice cultivar by incorporating Wsi18 gene from a wild rice O. nivara. 相似文献
