Abstract

From the progeny of a japonica variety Taipei 309 treated with 60Coγ ray irradiation, a leafy head mutant pla15 (plasttochron 15) with dwarf phenotype and small leaf was identified. Comparing with the wild type, the pla15 mutant has more leaves and less tillers, and therefore fails to produce a normal panicle at the maturity stage. The genetic analysis showed that the pla15 phenotype was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. By the mapbased cloning, the target gene was finally narrowed down to a 58 kb region between SSR markers CHR1027 and CHR1030 on the long arm of chromosome 10, and cosegregates with the molecular markers CHR1028 and CHR1029. There were five predicted genes in the mapped region. The  sequencing analysis results revealed that there was a  deletion of the nucleotide T in the first exon of the gene LOC_Os10g26340 encoding cytochrome P450 CYP78A11 in the pla15 mutant, which might result in a downstream frame shift and a premature termination. These results implied that the P450 CYP78A11  gene might be the candidate gene of PLA15.
