Abstract

Hightillering dwarf mutant gsor23 was generated from the indica rice variety Indica9 by γray radiation. Genetic analysis showed that this phenotype was controlled by one single recessive gene, which was mapped within a physical distance of 386 kb between two InDel markers C1WT2 and C1WT4 on the long arm of chromosome 1. There is a known gene D10 within this region and mutations in which caused hightillering phenotype in rice. Sequence analysis of the D10 allele in gsor23 revealed that the base C at the 404th position in the coding region was deleted, causing frameshift mutation after the 134th amino acids. This mutant differed from the previously reported japonica mutants d101 and d102 in mutation site and genetic background.Therefore, gsor23 is a novel allellic mutant of D10, which encodes the carotenoidcleaving dioxygenase 8 (CCD8), a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the new plant hormone strigolactones(SLs). After treatment with GR24, a synthetic analogues of SLs, gsor23 showed normal phenotype. Realtime RTPCR analysis showed that D10 expression level was high in root, but low in leaves. Compared with the wildtype Indica9, the expression level of the SLs biosynthetic gene D10 was upregulated, while genes likely involved in the SLs signal transduction such as D3 and D14 were downregulated in the gsor23 mutant.

Key words： branching; strigolactones; carotenoidcleaving dioxygenase; feedback regulation
