The creation of dual-purpose nuclear-sterile lines for two-line hybrid breeding has become vital for commercial rice breeding. We constructed the pC1300-2 x35 S::Cas9-sgRNA^(PTGMS2-1) expression vector for editing the male fertility gene PTGMS2-1 in two widely compatible rice varieties, 93-11 and Huazhan, by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. We obtained the marker-free photoperiod-/thermo-sensitive genic male-sterile(P/TGMS) lines in T_1 generation. According to the experiments in phytotron with four temperature and photoperiod treatments, we found the temperature is the main factor for restoring the pollen fertility of ptgms2-1 mutants in 93-11 and Huazhan, and the photoperiod also has some effects on pollen fertility in two different rice backgrounds. The application of cultivating new male-sterile lines by genome editing system will significantly accelerate the rice breeding process.展开更多

Here, we studied the CTPs of three rice(Oryza sativa L.) chloroplast-localized proteins and found that their CTPs could be used to transport non-chloroplast-localized proteins into the chloroplasts. Fusion proteins lacking the CTP remained located in the cytoplasm. Furthermore, we constructed green fluorescent protein fusion vectors with the three CTPs and three non-chloroplast-localized proteins, Ghd10, MULTI-FLORET SPIKELET1(MFS1), and SHORTENED UPPERMOST INTERNODE 1(SUI1). After transforming these constructs into rice protoplasts, the fusion proteins all localized in the chloroplasts. Collectively, our results showed that these CTPs can transport non-chloroplast-localized proteins into the chloroplasts, and more importantly, these CTPs can be applied to engineer chloroplast metabolism.展开更多

The leaves of es-t appeared yellow at the seedling stage, and had decreased chlorophyll content. Rust spots were found during growth in es-t, especially at the leaf margin and tip. The plants showed a typical early-senescence phenotype at the milky stage. The leaf surface of es-t appeared smoother than wild-type leaves under a scanning electron microscope, because the leaves lack siliceous protuberances around the stoma. Chloroplasts grow abnormally and are filled with many starch grains in es-t. Paraffin section analysis showed that the development of the sclerenchyma cells and vascular bundles were also abnormal in es-t. Genetic analysis indicated that es-t was controlled by a recessive gene, which was finely mapped to a 42-kb interval on chromosome 5. These results will facilitate the positional cloning and functional studies of the gene.展开更多

文摘【目的】叶片是水稻进行光合作用的主要场所,叶片颜色的变化与水稻的生长发育直接相关。发掘水稻叶色突变体,是水稻功能基因组学研究的重要遗传基础。【方法】利用EMS诱变日本晴获得一个能稳定遗传的淡绿叶突变体,暂命名为pgl11(pale green leaf 11)。在不同生育期测定野生型与突变体的叶绿素含量。在苗期,取野生型与突变体叶片进行叶绿体结构的透射电镜观察。在分蘖期,测定野生型与突变体的光合参数并观察气孔结构。在成熟期,测定野生型和pgl11的主要农艺性状。以pgl11为母本,南京6号为父本构建相应的F2群体,采用图位克隆的方法,对该基因进行定位。【结果】从苗期开始,突变体pgl11的每一片新叶均表现为淡绿色,叶绿素含量显著降低,叶绿体发育异常。随着叶片的生长,叶色由淡绿逐渐转绿,至抽穗期时叶绿素含量亦无明显差异。pgl11还表现光合速率、气孔导度明显下降,胞间CO_2浓度上升。扫描电镜观察发现,突变体pgl11的气孔发育异常。与野生型相比,突变体的农艺性状如株高、剑叶宽、二次枝梗数、每穗粒数、粒长、粒宽、千粒重以及结实率等均显著降低。对叶绿素合成、光合作用以及质体发育相关基因的表达量测定表明,突变体pgl11中参与叶绿体转录和翻译相关基因的表达量显著升高,而叶绿素合成和光合作用相关基因的表达量显著下降。遗传分析表明,该突变表型受一对隐性核基因控制。通过图位克隆的方法将该基因定位于第1染色体上的C6和C8标记之间,物理距离约为110 kb。【结论】该定位区间内未见有叶色相关基因报道,推测PGL11基因可能是一个新的水稻叶色基因。
