A heading date QTL, qHD7.2, from wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) delays flowering and shortens panicle length under long-day conditions.

ABSTRACT: Heading date (HD) and panicle length (PL) are important traits that affect rice breeding and are controlled by pleiotropic genes. Some alleles associated with HD and PL from wild relatives might differ from those in cultivated rice. In this study, a main effect HD quantitative trait locus from wild rice, qHD7.2, was identified using a chromosomal segment substitution line (CSSL) population. First, qHD7.2 was determined to be located near RM172 on chromosome 7 based on association analysis of phenotype data from six environments and 181 polymorphic molecular markers. CSSL39, which has the latest flowering of all CSSLs and carries qHD7.2, was selected for further study, and qHD7.2 was narrowed to a 101.1-kb interval using a CSSL39/9311 F2 population. An OsPRR37-homologous gene was found within this region. The wild type allele delayed flowering and shortened PL under long-day conditions. The HD7.2, which was identified as a candidate gene for qHD7.2, transcript level was substantially higher than that in 9311. Our data showed that HD7.2 is likely a novel OsPRR37 allele. Sequence analysis revealed that OsPRR37 in cultivated rice had multiple origins, and natural variation in the coding domain sequence and promoter region contribute to flowering time diversity in cultivated rice.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) is a class of non-coding RNAs involved in post- transcriptional control of gene expression, via degradation and/or translational inhibition. Six-hundred sixty-one rice miRNAs are known that are important in plant development. However, flowering-related miRNAs have not been characterized in Oryza rufipogon Griff. It was approved by supervision department of Guangdong wild rice protection. We analyzed flowering-related miRNAs in O. rufipogon using high-throughput sequencing (deep sequencing) to understand the changes that occurred during rice domestication, and to elucidate their functions in flowering.ResultsThree O. rufipogon sRNA libraries, two vegetative stage (CWR-V1 and CWR-V2) and one flowering stage (CWR-F2) were sequenced using Illumina deep sequencing. A total of 20,156,098, 21,531,511 and 20,995,942 high quality sRNA reads were obtained from CWR-V1, CWR-V2 and CWR-F2, respectively, of which 3,448,185, 4,265,048 and 2,833,527 reads matched known miRNAs. We identified 512 known rice miRNAs in 214 miRNA families and predicted 290 new miRNAs. Targeted functional annotation, GO and KEGG pathway analyses predicted that 187 miRNAs regulate expression of flowering-related genes. Differential expression analysis of flowering-related miRNAs showed that: expression of 95 miRNAs varied significantly between the libraries, 66 are flowering-related miRNAs, such as oru-miR97, oru-miR117, oru-miR135, oru-miR137, et al. 17 are early-flowering -related miRNAs, including osa-miR160f, osa-miR164d, osa-miR167d, osa-miR169a, osa-miR172b, oru-miR4, et al., induced during the floral transition. Real-time PCR revealed the same expression patterns as deep sequencing. miRNAs targets were confirmed for cleavage by 5'-RACE in vivo, and were negatively regulated by miRNAs.ConclusionsThis is the first investigation of flowering miRNAs in wild rice. The result indicates that variation in miRNAs occurred during rice domestication and lays a foundation for further study of phase change and flowering in O. rufipogon. Complicated regulatory networks mediated by multiple miRNAs regulate the expression of flowering genes that control the induction of flowering.
