Abstract
Starch accounts for about 80-85 % of the dry weight of grains and determines yield by impact on grain weight. And, the content and composition of starch also determine appearance, eating, cooking and nutritional quality of rice. By coordinating crucial reactions of the primary carbohydrate metabolism in all eukaryotes, fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2) is a traffic signal in metabolism. However, the metabolic regulation of starch in plant sink tissues by Fru-2,6-P2 remains unclear. Here we isolated rice mutant floury endosperm23 (flo23) which has opaque endosperm and anomalous compound starch grains (SGs). flo23 mutant grains had reduced contents of starch, lipids and proteins. Map-based cloning and genetic complementation experiments showed that FLO23 encodes a cytoplasmic Fructose-6-phosphate-2-kinase/Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (F2KP). Mutation of OsF2KP2 decreased Fru-2,6-P2 content in endosperm cells, leading to drastically reduced phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and pyruvate contents and disordered glycolysis and energy metabolism. The results imply that OsF2KP2 participates in the glycolytic pathway by providing precursors and energy for synthesis of grain storage compounds.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:943184. [PMID: 35795345 PMCID: PMC9251471 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.943184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Subtilisin-like proteases (SUBs), which are extensively distributed in three life domains, affect all aspects of the plant life cycle, from embryogenesis and organogenesis to senescence. To explore the role of SUBs in rice caryopsis development, we recharacterized the OsSUB gene family in rice (Oryza sativa ssp. japonica). In addition, investigation of the SUBs was conducted across cultivated and wild rice in seven other Oryza diploid species (O. brachyantha, O. glaberrima, O. meridionalis, O. nivara, O. punctata, O. rufipogon, and O. sativa ssp. indica). Sixty-two OsSUBs were identified in the latest O. sativa ssp. japonica genome, which was higher than that observed in wild species. The SUB gene family was classified into six evolutionary branches, and SUB1 and SUB3 possessed all tandem duplication (TD) genes. All paralogous SUBs in eight Oryza plants underwent significant purifying selection. The expansion of SUBs in cultivated rice was primarily associated with the occurrence of tandem duplication events and purifying selection and may be the result of rice domestication. Combining the expression patterns of OsSUBs in different rice tissues and qRT-PCR verification, four OsSUBs were expressed in rice caryopses. Moreover, OsSUBs expressed in rice caryopses possessed an earlier origin in Oryza, and the gene cluster formed by OsSUBs together with the surrounding gene blocks may be responsible for the specific expression of OsSUBs in caryopses. All the above insights were inseparable from the continuous evolution and domestication of Oryza. Together, our findings not only contribute to the understanding of the evolution of SUBs in cultivated and wild rice but also lay the molecular foundation of caryopsis development and engineering improvement of crop yield.

Genes (Basel) 2020; 11:genes11040465. [PMID: 32344582 PMCID: PMC7230733 DOI: 10.3390/genes11040465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2020] [Revised: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Rice varieties with suitable flour-making qualities are required to promote the rice processed-food industry and to boost rice consumption. A rice mutation, Namil(SA)-flo1, produces grains with floury endosperm. Overall, grains with low grain hardness, low starch damage, and fine particle size are more suitable for use in flour processing grains with waxy, dull endosperm with normal grain hardness and a high amylose content. In this study, fine mapping found a C to T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in exon 2 of the gene encoding cytosolic pyruvate phosphate dikinase (cyOsPPDK). The SNP resulted in a change of serine to phenylalanine acid at amino acid position 101. The gene was named FLOURY ENDOSPERM 4-5 (FLO4-5). Co-segregation analysis with the developed cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers revealed co-segregation between the floury phenotype and the flo4-5. This CAPS marker could be applied directly for marker-assisted selection. Real-time RT-PCR experiments revealed that PPDK was expressed at considerably higher levels in the flo4-5 mutant than in the wild type during the grain filling stage. Plastid ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase small subunit (AGPS2a and AGPS2b) and soluble starch synthase (SSIIb and SSIIc) also exhibited enhanced expression in the flo4-5 mutant.

A Novel Mutation of OsPPDKB, Encoding Pyruvate Orthophosphate Dikinase, Affects Metabolism and Structure of Starch in the Rice Endosperm. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19082268. [PMID: 30072633 PMCID: PMC6121672 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19082268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2018] [Revised: 07/28/2018] [Accepted: 07/30/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Starch, as a main energy storage substance, plays an important role in plant growth and human life. Despite the fact that several enzymes and regulators involved in starch biosynthesis have been identified, the regulating mechanism of starch synthesis is still unclear. In this study, we isolated a rice floury endosperm mutant M14 from a mutant pool induced by 60Co. Both total starch content and amylose content in M14 seeds significantly decreased, and starch thermal and pasting properties changed. Compound starch granules were defected in the floury endosperm of M14 seeds. Map-based cloning and a complementation test showed that the floury endosperm phenotype was determined by a gene of OsPPDKB, which encodes pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK, EC 2.7.9.1). Subcellular localization analysis demonstrated that PPDK was localized in chloroplast and cytoplasm, the chOsPPDKB highly expressed in leaf and leaf sheath, and the cyOsPPDKB constitutively expressed with a high expression in developing endosperm. Moreover, the expression of starch synthesis-related genes was also obviously altered in M14 developing endosperm. The above results indicated that PPDK played an important role in starch metabolism and structure in rice endosperm.
