Many publications indicated various beneficial effects of the addition of silicon (Si) in soil on the physiology of rice plants. The gene responsible for the Si-uptake in rice, low Si-influx 1 (Lsi1), was identified and cloned for this study. The photosynthetic rate (Pn), grain yield, and resistance to Cadmium (Cd)-stress of the wild-type (WT) and Lsi1-transgenic Lemont rice lines under Cd-stress were examined in an attempt to better understand the mechanism associated with the Si-addition, Cd-stress, and rice physiology. Si-fertilization significantly reduced the Cd-content in rice under Cd-stress. The effect was most significant in the Lsi1-overexpression transgenic Lemont rice (Lsi1-OE line) under high Cd-stress. Conversely, Cd in soil lowered the Si-uptake of the plants indicating a significant interaction between the two elements. During the grain-filling period, Cd-stress greatly reduced the chlorophyll content and Pn of the rice resulting in a diminished grain output. However, Lsi1-OE line with a higher chlorophyll content and Pn than either WT or Lsi1-RNAi transgenic Lemont rice (Lsi1-RNAi line) maintained a high photo-assimilate transportation for high yield potential. At harvest, Lsi1-OE line contained more Si and less Cd than WT, whereas the Lsi1-RNAi line showed an opposite result. In general, Cd-stress reduced, while Si-fertilization significantly increased, the grain yield on rice. However, no significant difference on the grain yields existed between WT and Lsi1-RNAi line. This might be due to a compensation effect generated by Lsi1-RNAi line. It appeared that Si in the soil, as well as the enhancing or inhibiting Lsi1 expression and the resistance to Cd-toxicity of the plants, could significantly affect the rice yield making alternations on these factors a plausible approach for production improvement. 相似文献

We generated 383 independent transgenic lines that contained the PsGPD (Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase), ArCspA (Cold Shock Protein), BrTSR15 (Triple Stress Resistance 15) and BrTSR53 (Triple Stress Resistance 53) genes under the control of a constitutive (CaMV 35S) promoter to generate genetically modified (GM) rice. TaqMan copy number assay was performed to determine the copy numbers of inserted T-DNA. Flanking sequence tags (FSTs) were isolated from 203 single copy T-DNA lines of transgenic plants, and their sequences were mapped to the rice chromosomes. Of the 157 flanking sequence tags that were isolated from single copy lines, transgenes were found to be integrated into genic regions in 58 lines (36 %), whereas 97 lines (62 %) contained transgene insertions in intergenic regions. Approximately 27 putative homozygous lines were obtained through multi-generations of planting, resistance screening and TaqMan copy number assays. To investigate the transgene expression patterns, quantitative real-time PCR analysis was performed using total RNA from leaf tissue of homozygous T1 plants with a single copy and an intergenic insertion of T-DNA. The mRNA expression levels of the examined transgenic rice were significantly increased in all transgenic plants. In addition, myc-tagged 35S:BrTSR15 and 35S:BrTSR53 transgenic plants displayed higher levels of transgene protein. Using numerical data for the mass production of transgenic plants can reduce the time required to obtain a genetically modified plant. Moreover, the duration, cost, and efforts required for transformation can be deliberately predicted. These results may be useful for the large-scale production of transgenic plants or T-DNA inserted rice mutants. 相似文献

Silicon (Si) is known for its role in regulating the response of plants to imposed abiotic stresses. Since the stresses generally hinder production of a crop, such as rice, the exploration of the biochemistry and plant physiology relating to the function is of interest. Indeed, recently, there were reports on the function of Lsi1 in regulating the tolerance of rice to cadmium (Cd) stress. This study compared the kinetics of the Cd uptakes in Lemont wild type rice and its transgenic lines exposed to Cd with or without exogenous Si supply. At the same time, changes on the endogenous phytohormones and growth of the rice seedlings were monitored. Genetically, Lsi1 overexpression was found to downregulate Km and Vmax of Cd uptake kinetics in the plants under Cd stress, especially in the presence of Si. On the other hand, Lsi1 RNAi upregulated Km and Vmax regardless whether Si was present or not. It implied that Lsi1 could be capable of regulating Si as well as Cd transports. Under Cd stress, addition of Si reduced the Cd uptake of the rice lines in the order of Lsi1-overexpression line?>?Lemont?>?Lsi1-RNAi line. In addition, it also affected the chlorophyll biosynthesis and dry mass accumulation of the rice plants under Cd stress. Analyses on phytohormones including IAA, GA3, JA, SA and ABA, as well as physiological functions, of the seedlings further verified the active involvement of Lsi1 in the complex defense system of the plants against Cd stress. 相似文献

A novel QTL for grain number, GN4-1, was identified and fine-mapped to an ~ 190-kb region on the long arm of rice chromosome 4.Abstract
Rice grain yield is primarily determined by three components: number of panicles per plant, grain number per panicle and grain weight. Among these traits, grain number per panicle is the major contributor to grain yield formation and is a crucial trait for yield improvement. In this study, we identified a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) responsible for rice grain number on chromosome 4, designated GN4-1 (a QTL for Grain Number on chromosome 4), using advanced segregating populations derived from the crosses between an elite indica cultivar ‘Zhonghui 8006’ (ZH8006) and a japonica rice ‘Wuyunjing 8’ (WYJ8). GN4-1 was delimited to an ~ 190-kb region on chromosome 4. The genetic effect of GN4-1 was estimated using a pair of near-isogenic lines. The GN4-1 gene from WYJ8 promoted accumulation of cytokinins in the inflorescence and increased grain number per panicle by ~ 17%. More importantly, introduction of the WYJ8 GN4-1 gene into ZH8006 increased grain yield by ~ 14.3 and ~ 11.5% in the experimental plots in 2014 and 2015, respectively. In addition, GN4-1 promoted thickening of the culm and may enhance resistance to lodging. These results demonstrate that GN4-1 is a potentially valuable gene for improvement of yield and lodging resistance in rice breeding.9.

We have developed a unique male-sterility and fertility-restoration system in rice by combining Brassica napus cysteine-protease gene (BnCysP1) with anther-specific P12 promoter of rice for facilitating production of hybrid varieties.Abstract
In diverse crop plants, male-sterility has been exploited as a useful approach for production of hybrid varieties to harness the benefits of hybrid vigour. The promoter region of Os12bglu38 gene of rice has been isolated from the developing panicles and was designated as P12. The promoter was fused with gusA reporter gene and was expressed in Arabidopsis and rice systems. Transgenic plants exhibited GUS activity in tapetal cells and pollen of the developing anthers indicating anther/pollen-specific expression of the promoter. For engineering nuclear male sterility, the coding region of Brassica napus cysteine protease1 (BnCysP1) was isolated from developing seeds and fused to P12 promoter. Transgenic rice plants obtained with P12-BnCysP1 failed to produce functional pollen grains. The F1 seeds obtained from BnCysP1 male-sterile plants and untransformed controls showed 1:1 (tolerant:sensitive) ratio when germinated on the MS medium supplemented with phosphinothricin (5 mg/l), confirming that the male sterility has been successfully engineered in rice. For male fertility restoration, transgenic rice plants carrying BnCysP1Si silencing system were developed. The pollination of BnCysP1 male-sterile (female-fertile) plants with BnCysP1Si pollen resulted in normal grain filling. The F1 seeds of BnCysP1 × BnCysP1Si when germinated on the MS basal medium containing PPT (5 mg/l) and hygromycin (70 mg/l) exhibited 1:1 (tolerant:sensitive) ratio and the tolerant plants invariably showed normal grain filling. The overall results clearly suggest that the customized male-sterility & fertility-restoration system can be exploited for quality hybrid seed production in various crops.12.
Heading date is one of most important agronomic traits in rice. Flowering regulatory mechanisms have been elucidated in many cultivars through various approaches. Although study about flowering has been extensively examined in rice, but contributions of floral regulators had been poorly understood in a common genetic background for rice grown under paddy conditions. Thus, we compared the expression of 10 flowering-time genes — OsMADS50, OsMADS51, OsVIL2, OsPhyA, OsPhyB, OsPhyC, Ghd7, Hd1, OsGI, and OsTrx1 — in the same genetic background for ‘Dongjin’ rice (Oryza sativa) grown under paddy conditions when days were longer than 13.5 h. Whereas the wild type (WT) rice flowered 105 days after sowing, the latest mutant to do so was ostrx1, flowering 53 d later. This indicated that the gene is the strongest inducer among all of those examined. Mutations in OsMADS50 delayed flowering by 45 d when compared with the WT, suggesting that this MADS gene is another strong positive element. The third positive element was OsVIL2; mutations in the gene caused plants to flower 27 d late. In contrast, the double phytochrome mutant osphyA osphyB flowered 44 d earlier than the WT. The single mutant osphyB and the double mutant osphyB osphyC did the same, although not as early as the osphyA osphyB double mutant. These results demonstrated that phytochromes are major inhibitors under paddy conditions. Mutations in Ghd7 accelerated flowering by 34 d, indicating that the gene is also a major inhibitor. The hd1 mutants flowered 16 d earlier than the WT while a mutation in OsGI hastened flowering by 10 d, suggesting that both are weak flowering repressors. Of the two florigen genes (Hd3a being the other one), RFT1 played a major role under paddy conditions. Its expression was strongly promoted by Ehd1, which was negatively controlled by Ghd7. Here we show that phytochromes strongly inhibit flowering and OsTrx1 and OsMADS50 significantly induce flowering under paddy conditions through Ghd7-Ehd1-RFT1 pathway. Thus, we may be able to control heading date under paddy conditions through manipulating those genes, Ghd7, Ehd1 and RFT1. 相似文献

The insecticidal cry genes of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have been successfully used for development of insect resistant transgenic rice plants. In this study, a novel cry2AX1 gene consisting a sequence of cry2Aa and cry2Ac gene driven by rice rbcS promoter was introduced into a rice cultivar, ASD16. Among 27 putative rice transformants, 20 plants were found to be positive for cry2AX1 gene. The expression of Cry2AX1 protein in transgenic rice plants ranged from 5.95 to 122.40 ng/g of fresh leaf tissue. Stable integration of the transgene was confirmed in putative transformants of rice by Southern blot hybridization analysis. Insect bioassay on T0 transgenic rice plants against rice leaffolder (Cnaphalocrosis medinalis) recorded larval mortality up to 83.33 %. Stable inheritance and expression of cry2AX1 gene in T1 progenies was demonstrated using Southern and ELISA. The detached leaf bit bioassay with selected T1 plants showed 83.33–90.00 % mortality against C. medinalis. The whole plant bioassay for T1 plants with rice leaffolder showed significant level of resistance even at a lower level of Cry2AX1 expression varying from 131 to 158 ng/g fresh leaf tissue during tillering stage. 相似文献

Straighthead is a physiological disorder in rice that causes yield losses and is a serious threat to rice production worldwide. Identification of QTL conferring resistance will help develop resistant cultivars for straighthead control. We conducted linkage mapping to identify QTL involved with straighthead. The study was based on a F2 population developed from a cross between ‘Zhe733(resistant)/R312(susceptible)’. Using phenotypic data of F2 plants and their F2:3 families, two major QTL, qSTH-2 and qSTH-8, were identified using bulked segregant analysis, explaining 11.1 and 28.1 % of the phenotypic variation on chromosome 2 and 8, respectively. The qSTH-2 for straighthead resistance was identified by linkage mapping. qSTH-2 was situated near a QTL “AsS” responsible for arsenic accumulation. Straighthead is frequently observed on land where As has accumulated. The result suggests a kind of internal connection between qSTH-2 and AsS. Additionally, the QTL qSTH-8 was located close to HD5 related with heading date. The close location may be associated with the observation of early heading among straighthead resistant varieties. These findings should be useful for further genetic study of straighthead. 相似文献

The Na+/H+ antiporters play an important role in salt tolerance in plants. However, the functions of OsNHXs in rice except OsNHX1 have not been well studied. Using the gain- and loss-of-function strategies, we studied the potential role of OsNHX2 in salt tolerance in rice. Overexpression of OsNHX2 (OsNHX2-OE) in rice showed the significant tolerance to salt stress than wild-type plants and OsNHX2 knockdown transgenic plants (OsNHX2-KD). Under salt treatments of 300-mM NaCl for 5 days, the plant fresh weights, relative water percentages, shoot heights, Na+ contents, K+ contents, and K+/Na+ ratios in leaves of OsNHX2-OE transgenic plants were higher than those in wild-type plants, while no differences were detected in roots. K+/Na+ ratios in rice leaf mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells were higher in OsNHX2-OE transgenic plants than in wild-type plants and OsNHX2-KD transgenic plants. Our data indicate that OsNHX2 plays an important role in salt stress based on leaf mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells and can be served in genetically engineering crop plants with enhanced salt tolerance. 相似文献

Since their discovery, germin and germin-like proteins (GLPs) were found to be associated with salt stress along with other physiological roles. Although a number of GLP family members showed spatio-temporal changes in expressional up-regulation or down-regulation upon exposure to salt stress across plant species, very little is known about any rice GLP member in relation to salt stress. Rice germin-like protein 1 (OsGLP1), belongs to “Cupin” superfamily, is a plant glycoprotein and is associated with the plant cell wall. Our previous studies on endogenous down-regulation of OsGLP1 in rice and heterologous expression in tobacco documented that the OsGLP1 possessing superoxide dismutase activity is involved in cell wall cross-linking and fungal disease resistance in plants. In the present study, the transgenic rice lines having reduced OsGLP1 expression were analyzed in advanced generation for deciphering the involvement of OsGLP1 under salt stress. OsGLP1 gene-silencing construct integated transgenic lines were confirmed by Southern hybridization and RNA-interfernce (RNAi) mediated gene-silencing of the transgenic rice lines was confirmed by northern blot analysis. The expression of endogenous OsGLP1 protein level was found to be reduced in salt sensitive indica rice cultivar Badshahbhog following salt stress. Additionally, the RNAi-mediated OsGLP1 gene-silencing in transgenic rice lines resulted improved salt tolerance as compared to the untransformed ones during seed germination, initial establishment, early seedling growth and callus proliferation. Salt tolerance nature of the OsGLP1 gene-silenced plants at early stages of growth and development depicted the negative correlation between the OsGLP1 expression and salt tolerance of rice. 相似文献

Rice blast caused by fungal pathogen Pyricularia oryzae has a major impact on reducing yield potential of rice. In this study, homozygous plants were selected using microsatellite markers from the \(\hbox {BC}_{3}\hbox {F}_{2}\) population pyramided with four major genes in elite rice variety ADT 43. Background and selected lines with various blast resistance gene combinations were screened under natural conditions to study the effects of various gene combinations. Upon inspection of lines with different gene combinations, the three-gene pyramided line Pi54+Pi33+Pi1 was found to be highly resistant with the score of 3.3 followed by other three-gene pyramided lines Pi54+Pi2+Pi1 and Pi33+Pi2+Pi1, with the scores of 3.9 and 3.8, respectively. Two-gene pyramided lines Pi54+Pi1, Pi33+Pi1 and Pi2+Pi1 were found to be moderately resistant with a mean score of 4.0 each. In the case of monogenic lines, positive plants for Pi54 performed almost equal to three-gene pyramided lines with a mean score of 3.6. Lines with Pi2 and Pi1 were found to be moderately resistant and moderately susceptible with the mean scores of 4.1 and 4.5, respectively. 相似文献

This article presents a comprehensive review on the genetic and biochemicalmechanisms governing rice-planthopper interactions, aiming to contribute substantialplanthopper control and facilitate breeding for resistance to planthoppers in rice.Abstract
The rice planthopper is the most destructive pest of rice and a substantial threat to rice production. The brown planthopper (BPH), white-backed planthopper (WBPH) and small brown planthopper (SBPH) are three species of delphacid planthoppers and important piercing-sucking pests of rice. Host-plant resistance has been recognized as the most practical, economical and environmentally friendly strategy to control planthoppers. Until now, at least 30, 14 and 34 major genes/quantitative trait loci for resistance to BPH, WBPH and SBPH have been identified, respectively. Recent inheritance and molecular mapping of gene analysis showed that some planthopper-resistance genes in rice derived from different donors aggregate in clusters, while resistance to these three species of planthoppers in a single donor is governed not by any one dominant gene but by multiple genes. Notably, Bph14, Bph26, Bph3 and Bph29 were successfully identified as BPH-resistance genes in rice. Biological and chemical studies on the feeding of planthoppers indicate that rice plants have acquired various forms of defence against planthoppers. Between the rice-planthopper interactions, rice plants defend against planthoppers through activation the salicylic acid-dependent systemic acquired resistance but not jasmonate-dependent hormone response pathways. Transgenic rice for the planthopper-resistance mechanism shows that jasmonate and its metabolites function diversely in rice’s resistance to planthopper. Understanding the genetic and biochemical mechanisms underlying resistance in rice will contribute to the substantial control of such pests and facilitate breeding for rice’s resistance to planthopper more efficiently.20.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the staple food crop for more than half of the world’s population. The development of hybrid rice is a practical approach to increase rice production. However, rice production was frequently affected by biotic and abiotic stresses. Rice blast and bacterial blight are two major diseases in rice growing regions. Rice plantation is also frequently affected by short-term submergence or seasonal floods in wet seasons and drought in dry seasons. The utilization of natural disease resistance (R) genes and stress tolerance genes in rice breeding is the most economic and efficient way to combat or adapt to these biotic and abiotic stresses. Rice cultivar 9311 is widely planted rice variety, either as inbred rice or the paternal line of two-line hybrid rice. Here, we report the pyramiding of rice blast R gene Pi9, bacterial blight R genes Xa21 and Xa27, and submergence tolerance gene Sub1A in 9311 genetic background through backcrossing and marker-assisted selection. The improved rice line, designated as 49311, theoretically possesses 99.2% genetic background of 9311. 49311 and its hybrid rice, GZ63S/49311, conferred disease resistance to rice blast and bacterial blight and showed tolerance to submergence for over 18 days without significant loss of viability. 49311 and its hybrids had similar agronomic traits and grain quality to 9311 and the control hybrid rice, respectively. The development of 49311 provides an improved paternal line for two-line hybrid rice production with disease resistance to rice blast and bacterial blight and tolerance to submergence. 相似文献
