Abstract

By using five japonica rice varieties with different amylose and amylopectin contents in endosperm as experimental material, we analyzed the expression levels of ISAs and the activity of isomylase, and their correlation with starch content during grain filling. It turned out that the isomylase activity, the expression levels of ISA1 and ISA3 of tested varieties followed a unimodal curve with peak value appearing during the mid-filling stage except sticky rice, while for the sticky rice, the expression level showed a straight-line growth during grain filling with obvious higher expression in late stage. The expression level of ISA2 was down-regulated ten days after heading. In principle, the expression levels of ISA1 and ISA3 were significantly positively correlated with the enzyme activity, and they both synchronously changed with the content of amylopectin. During grain filling, the expression levels of ISA1 and ISA3 were absolutely higher than that of ISA2, indicating that they were dominated genes expressed during grain filling.
