Compared with the promoter of OsRacD cloned by reverse PCR from normal rice variety Nongken 58 （Nongken 58N）, the homology was 99.8%, and the different nucleotides were outside the predicted response elements in promoter, suggesting that the fertility between rice varieties Nongken 58S and Nongken 58N under the long-day conditions was not attributed to the difference in the structure of OsRacD upstream regulation sequences, but to the developmental regulation of gene differential expression.展开更多

Homologous comparison indicated that the fragment RDP-8 has high homology with the gene encoding maize small GTP-binding protein. By screening cDNA library of the rice Nongken 58N panicle using the newly obtained fragment RDP-8 as probe, we further found the full-length cDNA of osRACD gene that encodes a rice small GTP-binding protein. As compared with maize RACD gene, the osRACD of rice shows remarkable homology in both nucleotide sequence and amino acid sequence, 88% and 97% respectively. Evidence from RT-PCR study indicates that osRACD gene is related to photoperiod fertility conversion of photoperiod sensitive genie male sterility (PSGMS) rice.展开更多

Using OsRacD as bait, two GDP dissociation inhibitor genes designated as OsRhoGDI1 and OsRhoGDI2 were screened by yeast two-hybrid system. To further study the regulation mechanism of OsRhoGDIs, and also the relationships between OsRhoGDIs and OsRacD, the upstream regulation sequences of OsRhoGDI1 and OsRhoGDI2 were cloned by PCR, and the cis-elements in the promoters were predicted using internet tools in this study. The results showed that there were several kinds of response elements, such as phytohormone response elements, lightregulated elements and adversity induced elements in the promoters of OsRhoGDIs, some of which were similar. Comparing with the promoter of OsRacD, several pollen tube germination related elements were found. On one hand, the expression and regulation mechanism of OsRhoGDIs were complex, they may be regulated by several signaling pathways commonly, and the regulation mechanisms were similar to some extent. On the other hand, it was suggested that the fertility of photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile rice may be controlled by the cooperative expression of OsRhoGDIs and OsRacD.展开更多
