Abstract

A small-grain dwarf mutant, designated as sgd1(t) , was identified from the T-DNA insertion mutant lines of Nipponbare.The mutant,genetically stable,was characterized by dwarf plant, small grain, dark green leaves and thick husk. Scanning electron microscope analysis on cell morphology of stem and hull revealed that stem cells in sgd1(t) failed to form normal cell column and vascular bundles, while epidermal cells with irregular shape in hulls were tightly packed, resulting in confusion in cell arrangement, and sgd1(t) was a GA-sensitive dwarf mutant. Genetic analysis showed that this trait of dwarfism was controlled by a pair of recessive nuclear gene. Through map-based cloning, the gene sgd1 (t) was mapped in an interval of 230 kb between the markers DF13 and DF26 on the short arm of chromosome 9. There was a dwarf gene BC12/GDD1 in this region. Sequence analysis showed that sgd1(t) had a single-base substitution (G to T) in the fourth exon of the gene, resulting in the replacement of glycine by valine in 186th conservative amino acid.
