摘要:

【目的】水稻颖壳发育直接影响稻米产量与品质,挖掘颖壳发育基因并探究其分子功能,可为水稻优质高产遗传改良提供更多的基因资源。【方法】利用EMS诱变徐稻3号获得一个颖壳开裂后不闭合的突变体sg5 (split glume 5);对其农艺性状和不同开花时间进行浆片表型和细胞学观察;通过图位克隆与BSA-seq相结合的方法鉴定SG5基因;结合野生型各组织表达量检测及GUS转基因株系各组织染色情况,分析SG5组织表达特异性;利用激光共聚焦显微镜观察SG5蛋白在原生质体中的亚细胞定位;通过进化树分析,探讨了SG5在进化过程中的选择情况。【结果】突变体sg5在开花前颖壳发育正常,开花后颖壳保持开裂状态直至成熟。与野生型相比,突变体株高和有效穗数无显著变化,抽穗期显著提前,穗长增加,粒长、粒宽降低,结实率极显著降低。体视显微镜观察结果显示,突变体颖壳开裂是浆片保持膨大状态导致的。SG5基因定位在第5染色体InDel5- 11−InDel5-13区间内,物理间距为3.72 Mb,图位克隆表明sg5突变体中LOC_Os05g50890的第3内含子和第4外显子连接处发生G-A突变导致发生可变剪接,蛋白翻译提前终止。敲除实验证实SG5基因即为目的基因。SG5基因为组成型表达,在根、茎、叶中表达水平较高。SG5蛋白定位在细胞质和细胞核中。SG5在进化过程中发生籼稻、粳稻分化。【结论】本研究鉴定了OsJar1基因一个新的等位突变,发现SG5在自然选择过程中发生了籼、粳分化。本研究为后续深入研究颖壳调控分子机制提供了新的线索,并为水稻设计育种提供新的基因资源。

Abstract:

【Objective】 Rice glume development directly affects both grain yield and quality. Identifying genes that control glume development and characterizing their functions can provide valuable genetic resources for breeding. 【Method】 The split glume 5 (sg5) mutant was isolated from a mutant library generated by ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis of the rice variety Xudao 3 (XU3). Phenotypic investigation and analysis were performed on both the wild type and the sg5 mutant. SG5 was identified using a combination of map-based cloning and bulked segregant analysis sequencing (BSA-seq). The temporal and spatial expression patterns of SG5 were examined by qRT PCR and GUS staining. Subcellular localization of SG5 was observed in rice protoplasts. An evolutionary tree was constructed to analyze the natural selection of SG5. 【Result】 The mutant exhibited normal glume development before flowering, but the glumes remained split until maturity. Compared with the wild type, the mutant showed earlier heading, longer panicles, reduced grain length and width, and a significantly lower seed-setting rate, while plant height and effective panicle number remained unchanged. Microscopic observation indicated that the split glume phenotype was caused by persistent swelling of the lodicules. SG5 was mapped to a 3.72 Mb physical interval between InDel5-11 and InDel5-13 on chromosome 5. In the sg5 mutant, a G-to-A mutation at the junction of intron 3 and exon 4 of LOC_Os05g50890 led to alternative splicing and premature protein termination. Knockout experiments confirmed that SG5 is the target gene. SG5 is constitutively expressed, with higher transcript levels in roots, stems, and leaves. The SG5 protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Evolutionary analysis revealed that SG5 has undergone differentiation between indica and japonica subspecies during evolution. 【Conclusion】 This study identifies a novel allele of OsJar1 and reveals that SG5 has diverged between indica and japonica under natural selection. These findings provide new clues for further dissection of the molecular regulatory network controlling glume development and offer valuable genetic resources for precision breeding in rice.
