Oryza sativa ) and wild rice (O. rufipogon) tissues. It is detected at every developmental stage, and is transmitted very efficiently to progeny via seeds (more than
98%). The dsRNA is maintained at a constant level (approximately 100 copies/cell) in almost all tissues. However, the number
of copies increases about 10-fold when host cells are grown in suspension culture. Complete nucleotide sequences of cultivated
rice (temperate japonica rice, cv. Nipponbare, J-dsRNA) and wild rice (W-1714, W-dsRNA) dsRNAs have been determined. Both wild and cultivated rice
dsRNAs have a single long open reading frame (ORF) containing the conserved motifs of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and RNA
helicase. The coding strands of both contain a site-specific discontinuity (nick) at nt 1,211 (J-dsRNA) or at nt 1,197 (W-dsRNA)
from the 5′ end of their coding strand. Rice dsRNA has several unique properties and can be regarded as a novel RNA replicon.
This paper discusses the origin and evolution of the rice dsRNA.

We have found a 14 kbp double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in many cultivars of japonica rice (Oryza sativa L.) but not in any cultivars of indica rice. This dsRNA is an RNA replicon with plasmid-like properties and is proposed to be a novel dsRNA virus, Oryza sativa endornavirus (OSV). Reciprocal crosses between the OSV-carrier japonica variety (Nipponbare) and the OSV-free indica variety (IR 26 or Kasalath) were performed to investigate whether OSV can be transmitted to F1 hybrids. When IR 26 and Nipponbare were used, efficient transmission of OSV from ova (93%) and pollen (89%) was observed. When Kasalath and Nipponbare were used, the OSV transmission efficiency to F1 progeny was 68% from ova and 20% from pollen. The transmission of OSV to F2 progeny plants was also complicated, showing non-Mendelian inheritance. These results suggest that the dsRNA replicon (OSV) is unstable in indica rice plants. 相似文献

Endogenous, 14 kb double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) have been found in two ecospecies of cultivated rice (temperate japonica rice and tropical japonica rice, Oryza sativa L.) and in wild rice (O. rufipogon, an ancestor of O. sativa). A comparison of the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the core regions of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase domains found in these three dsRNAs suggested that these dsRNAs probably evolved independently within each host plant from a common ancestor. These dsRNAs were introduced into F1 hybrids by crossing cultivated rice and wild rice. Unusual cytoplasmic inheritance of these dsRNAs was observed in some F1 hybrids; the evolutionarily related dsRNAs were incompatible for each other, and the resident dsRNA of an egg cell from cultivated rice was excluded by the incoming dsRNA of a pollen cell from wild rice. Coexisting dsRNAs in the F1 hybrids segregated away from each other in the F2 plants. However, the total amount of these dsRNAs in the host cells remained constant (ca. 100 copies/cell). The stringent regulation of the dsRNA copy number may be responsible for their unusual inheritance. 相似文献

A very restricted amount of high-molecular-weight double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has been found in healthy japonica rice plants. We discriminated dsRNA-carrying rice plants from noncarriers. The endogenous dsRNA was localized in the cytoplasm (about 100 copies per cell) and was transmissible to progeny plants by mating. In crosses between carriers and noncarriers, the RNA was transmitted efficiently to F1 plants via both egg and pollen. The rice dsRNA was maintained at an almost constant level by host plant cells from generation to generation. The high-efficiency transmission of the endogenous dsRNA to progeny plants appears to depend on the autonomously controlled replication of the dsRNA localized in cytoplasmic vesicles. However, an increase in copy number (about 10-fold) of the dsRNA was observed during the suspension culture of host cells. The number of copies of dsRNA returned to the original low value in regenerated plants, suggesting that the copy number is stringently and developmentally regulated in rice cells. 相似文献

The entire sequence of 13952 nucleotides of a plasmid-like, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) from rice was assembled from more than 50 independent cDNA clones. The 5 non-coding region of the coding (sense) strand spans over 166 nucleotides, followed by one long open reading frame (ORF) of 13716 nucleotides that encodes a large putative polyprotein of 4572 amino acid residues, and by a 70-nucleotide 3 noncoding region. This ORF is apparently the longest reported to date in the plant kingdom. Amino acid sequence comparisons revealed that the large putative polyprotein includes an RNA helicase-like domain and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (replicase)-like domain. Comparisons of the amino acid sequences of these two domains and of the entire genetic organization of the rice dsRNA with those found in potyviruses and the CHV1-713 dsRNA of chestnut blight fungus suggest that the rice dsRNA is located evolutionarily between potyviruses and the CHV1-713 dsRNA. This plasmid-like dsRNA in rice seems to constitute a novel RNA replicon in plants. 相似文献

We have completely sequenced a defective interfering viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae virus. This RNA (S14) is a simple internal deletion of its parental dsRNA, M1, of 1.9 kilobases. The 5' 964 bases of the M1 plus strand encode the type 1 killer toxin of the yeast. S14 is 793 base pairs (bp) long, with 253 bp from the 5' region of its parental plus strand and 540 bp from the 3' region. All three defective interfering RNAs derived from M1 that have been characterized so far preserve a large 3' region, which includes five repeats of a rotationally symmetrical 11-bp consensus sequence. This 11-bp sequence is not present in the 5' 1 kilobase of the parental RNA or in any of the sequenced regions of unrelated yeast viral dsRNAs, but it is present in the 3' region of the plus strand of another yeast viral dsRNA, M2, that encodes the type 2 killer toxin. The 3' region of 550 bases of the M1 plus strand, previously only partially sequenced, reveals no large open reading frames. Hence only about half of M1 appears to have a coding function. 相似文献

Pollen sterility is one of the main hindrances against the utilization of strong intersubspecific (indica-japonica) heterosis in rice. We looked for neutral alleles at known pollen sterility loci Sd and Se that could overcome this pollen sterility characteristic. Taichung 65, a typical japonica cultivar, and its near isogenic lines E7 and E8 for pollen sterility loci Sd and Se were employed as tester lines for crossing with 13 accessions of wild rice (O. rufipogon). Pollen fertility and genotypic segregations of the molecular markers tightly linked with Sd and Se loci were analyzed in the paired F(1)s and F(2) populations. One accession of wild rice (GZW054) had high pollen fertility in the paired F(1)s between Taichung 65 and E7 or E8. Genotypic segregations of the molecular markers tightly linked with Sd and Se loci fit the expected Mendelian ratio (1:2:1), and non-significances were shown among the mean pollen fertilities with the maternal, parental, and heterozygous genotypes of each molecular markers tightly linked with Sd and Se loci. Evidentially, it indicated that the alleles of Sd and Se loci for GZW054 did not interact with those of Taichung 65 and its near isogenic lines, and, thus were identified as neutral alleles Sd(n) and Se(n). These neutral genes could become important germplasm resources for overcoming pollen sterility in indica-japonica hybrids, making utilization of strong heterosis in such hybrids viable. 相似文献

Hybrid sterility hinders the exploitation of the heterosis displayed by japonica?×?indica rice hybrids. The variation in pollen semi-sterility observed among hybrids between the japonica recipient cultivar and each of two sets of chromosome segment substitution lines involving introgression from an indica cultivar was due to a factor on chromosome 5 known to harbor the gene S24. S24 was fine mapped to a 42?kb segment by analyzing a large F(2) population bred from the cross S24-NIL?×?Asominori, while the semi-sterility shown by the F(1) hybrid was ascribable to mitotic failure at the early bicellular pollen stage. Interestingly, two other pollen sterility genes (f5-Du and Sb) map to the same region (Li et al. in Chin Sci Bull 51:675-680, 2006; Wang et al. in Theor Appl Genet 112:382-387, 2006), allowing a search for candidate genes in the 6.4?kb overlap between the three genes. By sequencing the overlapped fragment in wild rice, indica cultivars and japonica cultivars, a protein ankyrin-3 encoded by the ORF2 was identified as the molecular base for S24. A cultivar Dular was found to have a hybrid-sterility-neutral allele, S24-n, in which an insertion of 30?bp was confirmed. Thus, it was possible to add one more case of molecular bases for the hybrid sterility. No gamete abortion is caused on heterozygous maternal genotype with an impaired sequence from the hybrid-sterility-neutral genotype. This result will be useful in understanding of wide compatibility in rice breeding. 相似文献

The 5' region of the rice actin 1 gene (Act1) has been developed as an efficient regulator of foreign gene expression in transgenic rice plants. To determine the pattern and level of rice Act1 5' region activity, transgenic rice plants containing the Act1 5' region fused to a bacterial beta-glucuronidase (Gus) coding sequence were generated. Two independent clonal lines of transgenic rice plants were analyzed in detail. Quantitative analysis showed that tissue from these transgenic rice plants have a level of GUS protein that represents as much as 3% of total soluble protein. We were able to demonstrate that Act1-Gus gene expression is constitutive throughout the sporophytic and gametophytic tissues of these transgenic rice plants. Plants from one transgenic line were analyzed for the segregation of GUS activity in pollen by in situ histochemical staining, and the inheritance and stability of Act1-Gus expression were assayed in subsequently derived progeny plants. 相似文献

TAC1, a major quantitative trait locus controlling tiller angle in rice 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

A critical step during rice (Oryza sativa) cultivation is dense planting: a wider tiller angle will increase leaf shade and decrease photosynthesis efficiency, whereas a narrower tiller angle makes for more efficient plant architecture. The molecular basis of tiller angle remains unknown. This research demonstrates that tiller angle is controlled by a major quantitative trait locus, TAC1 (Tiller Angle Control 1). TAC1 was mapped to a 35-kb region on chromosome 9 using a large F(2) population from crosses between an indica rice, IR24, which displays a relatively spread-out plant architecture, and an introgressed line, IL55, derived from japonica rice Asominori, which displays a compact plant architecture with extremely erect tillers. Genetic complementation further identified the TAC1 gene, which harbors three introns in its coding region and a fourth 1.5-kb intron in the 3'-untranslated region. A mutation in the 3'-splicing site of this 1.5-kb intron from 'AGGA' to 'GGGA' decreases the level of tac1, resulting in a compact plant architecture with a tiller angle close to zero. Further sequence verification of the mutation in the 3'-splicing site of the 1.5-kb intron revealed that the tac1 mutation 'GGGA' was present in 88 compact japonica rice accessions and TAC1 with 'AGGA' was present in 21 wild rice accessions and 43 indica rice accessions, all with the spread-out form, indicating that tac1 had been extensively utilized in densely planted rice grown in high-latitude temperate areas and at high altitudes where japonica rice varieties are widely cultivated. 相似文献

RFLP analyses were carried out in the progeny from a cross of two phylogenetically distant rice species, wild rice Oryza alta Swallen (CCDD, 2n = 48) and cultivated rice O. sativa L. (AA, 2n = 24). The sterile plants gave heterozygous RFLP patterns at most of the loci detected. They looked more like their wild rice parent, with 36 chromosomes in their root-tip cells and pollen mother cells. In two partially fertile plants, however, most of the markers that were used showed RFLP patterns similar to the cultivated parent, O. sativa. By cytological study, it was found that nearly one-third of the chromosomes had been eliminated in the partially fertile plants. Their seeds have short awns, which is a characteristic of their wild parent, O. alta. An introgression occurred in one of the partially fertile plants, which led to the discussion about a nonconventional mechanism in wide hybridization for transference of wild rice chromosome segments to cultivated rice chromosomes. 相似文献

Evidence that processed small dsRNAs may mediate sequence-specific mRNA degradation during RNAi in Drosophila embryos 总被引:31,自引:0,他引:31
BACKGROUND: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon in which introduced double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) silence gene expression through specific degradation of their cognate mRNAs. Recent analyses in vitro suggest that dsRNAs may be copied, or converted, into 21-23 nucleotide (nt) guide RNAs that direct the nucleases responsible for RNAi to their homologous mRNA targets. Such small RNAs are also associated with gene silencing in plants. RESULTS: We developed a quantitative single-embryo assay to examine the mechanism of RNAi in vivo. We found that dsRNA rapidly induced mRNA degradation. A fraction of dsRNAs were converted into 21-23 nt RNAs, and their time of appearance and persistence correlated precisely with inhibition of expression. The strength of RNAi increased disproportionately with increasing dsRNA length, but an 80bp dsRNA was capable of effective gene silencing. RNAi was saturated at low dsRNA concentration and inhibited by excess unrelated dsRNA. The antisense strand of the dsRNA determined target specificity, and excess complementary sense or antisense single-stranded RNAs (ssRNAs) competed with the RNAi reaction. CONCLUSIONS: Processed dsRNAs can act directly to mediate RNAi, with the antisense strand determining mRNA target specificity. The involvement of 21-23 nt RNAs is supported by the kinetics of the processing reaction and the observed size dependence. RNAi depends on a limiting factor, possibly the nuclease that generates the 21-23 mer species. The active moiety appears to contain both sense and antisense RNA strands. 相似文献

Location of the nick at oriT of the F plasmid 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
The oriT locus of the Escherichia coli K12 F plasmid contains a site at which one of the DNA strands is cleaved as a prelude to conjugal transmission to recipient bacteria. We have remapped this site biochemically by using oriT-containing plasmids that were purified from bacteria expressing the F transfer (tra) functions. The strand interruption was found on the transferred strand 137 base-pairs clockwise of the center of the BglII site at 66.7 on the F map. This location is consistent with the locations anticipated from studies of delta traF' plasmids, but it differs from previous results by other investigators. The strand interruption produced a 3'-OH, but the nature of the 5' terminus of the strand on the other side of the nick was not determined. Some DNA sequence motifs in the vicinity of the oriT nick site of F resemble the chromosomal site involved in formation of delta traF'purE plasmids. 相似文献

Chloroplast inheritance and the direction of hybridization have been investigated in some invasive weeds from the genus Fallopia. PCR RFLP analysis of the tmK intron has been used to identify markers that distinguish between the chloroplast genomes of British samples of F. japonica var. japonica, F. japonica var. compacta and F. sachalinensis. Maternal inheritance of chloroplast DNA has been observed in controlled crosses and in hybrid seed from known maternal parents. PCR RFLP analysis of wild hybrids between F. japonica var. japonica and either F. japonica var. compacta or F. sachalinensis indicates that F. japonica var. japonica is the maternal parent of all of its hybrids, consistent with the apparent male-sterility of this taxon in Britain. Hybrids between F. japonica var. compacta and F. sachalinensis show the chloroplast haplotype of one or other of the parents, consistent with bi-directional hybridization. 相似文献
