Abstract

【Objective】Plant height is an important agronomic trait for crops because dwarf cultivars are more resistant to lodging. Many factors are responsible for dwarfism in plants, but gibberellin (GA) and brassinosteroid (BR) are the most intensely studied factors, since their molecular mechanism in regulating plant height is important for both basic and applied researches of plant breeding. 【Method】In the present study, we reported the characterization and genetic mapping of a dwarf and low-tillering mutant, dlt3, gained through gamma ray mutagenesis of O. sativa indica 9311. The agronomic traits of the dlt3 mutant including plant height, tiller number, lamina inclination, leaf length and width, and seed-setting rate were analyzed by morphological observation and statistics. The responses to GA and BR were detected based on the changes of leaf angle by exogenous application of BR and GA-induced α-amylase activity. The F2 population and molecular markers were used for genetic mapping of the dlt3 gene. Furthermore, isobaric tags for the relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based proteomic method were applied to determine the proteomics of the dlt3 mutant as compared with wild type. 【Result】The plant height, tiller number, leaf angle, leaf length and seed-setting rate were significantly reduced in dlt3. The mutant also showed increased width of leaf blades, dark green and crinkled leaves. The mutant showed normal response to GA, but no response to exogenous BR. Genetic analysis revealed that the dlt3 phenotype was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. The dlt3 gene was mapped on the short arm of chromosome 6 between molecular markers RM2615 and R6M14. The iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis revealed that a total of 330 proteins were differentially expressed in the dlt3 mutant, including 222 up-regulated proteins and 108 down-regulated proteins. It showed that four proteins were directly involved in BR signaling pathway and several proteins involved in plant height and developmental regulation were differentially expressed in the mutant. Furthermore, many proteins especially some kinase and phosphatase related proteins, Ca2+ binding related proteins and zinc finger containing proteins were significantly enriched in the mutant. 【Conclusion】These results indicate that the dlt3 is a BR-insensitive dwarf and low-tillering mutant. The DLT3 locus, whose mutation results in abnormal BR signaling, could play important roles in regulating both plant height and other aspects of rice growth and development.
