    English, Scientific journal, Phenol color reaction has been used to distinguish between two subspecies of Asian rice (Oryza sativa), indica and japonica. The trait is controlled by one single Phr1 gene, which encodes a PPO enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of phenolic compounds into brown or black pigments upon contact to phenol solution. In O. sativa, ssp. indica responds to phenol chemical assay by altering the rice hull color to black, whereas ssp. japonica remains unaffected due to mutations that render the gene non-functional. Although the different characteristics between subspecies in Asian rice is well known, there is no information about the variation of this trait in African rice, Oryza glaberrima, which was originated and domesticated independently of Asian rice. In this study, we found both phenol negative and positive lines in O. glaberrima and its wild ancestor O. barthii and detected the responsible non-functional mutation (1-bp deletion) in the exon 1 of the Phr1 gene. Geographical distribution of its haplotype suggested that this mutation originated in O. barthii in Mali and was later inherited by O. glaberrima. The predominance of the non-functional Phr1 alleles in O. glaberrima lines and the occurrence of the identical haplotypes in negative group of both O. barthii and O. glaberrima suggest that the negative phenol reaction was favored during domestication and breeding selection. The presence of a selection event is also supported by low nucleotide diversity of Phr1 locus. However, genetic diversity of Phr1 persists in African rice germplasm, as the functional alleles are still present in O. glaberrima. We also compared the nucleotide diversity of Phr1 in African rice with that in Asian rice and found that their origins of the phenol responsive phenotype are independent. These findings expand the current understanding of African rice domestication and offer the valuable molecular marker for improved rice breeding.

    English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: The use of Illumina sequencing technologies has enabled the identification and removal of mutations in various plant species. However, the Illumina sequencing method requires a considerable amount of data to ensure its integrity and quality due to the enormous number of false positives. This study aimed to explore an effective genomic data analysis for the detection of heterozygous variant (HV) in rice varieties. RESULTS: We compared the accuracy of four combinations of mapping tools and variant calling pipelines and selected BWA-MEM2 with GATK4.3 HaplotypeCaller. To detect heterozygous de novo polymorphisms such as HVs in the three different rice varieties (Nipponbare, Kitaake, and Hinohikari), we adopted the following cost-saving procedures; secondary references were created in Nipponbare and Kitaake, and generation-based comparison was performed in Hinohikari. The similar HVs were estimated by the three varieties to range from 2.55814 × 10-8 to 4.41860 × 10-8, with an average of 3.10278 × 10-8 per nucleotide in a single rice plant, a rate consistent with observations in other organisms. Of 107 HVs identified in all eight plant samples, nine were found to be non-synonymous, resulting in an average of one non-synonymous HV per plant in a single generation. CONCLUSIONS: We have developed a methodology for the detection of true positive HVs within Illumina sequencing techniques. This system removed false positive HVs, allowing for the estimation of true positive HVs and, consequently, the estimation of the mutation rate. The study outlines a clear, step-by-step procedure that can be employed to detect true HVs in different organisms.

    English, Scientific journal, Shape of plant organs is constrained by other organs within the same plant, yet these constraints remain under-reported. In grasses, new leaves typically develop inside the space formed by the older leaf, which imposes spatial restrictions on the developing leaf. This study focused on the rice (Oryza sativa) mutant, DSK115, which exhibits twisted leaf blades to understand how constraints affect leaf development. We quantified 3D shapes of twisted and nontwisted leaves developing inside the cylindrical space formed by the older leaf sheath by micro X-ray computed tomography (micro-CT). We also used computational modelling for qualifying leaf phenotype. CT scanning showed physical contact between the inner and outer edges of a leaf blade due to left-right asymmetry in leaf width, and physical inhibition of leaf growth due to reduced space within the enclosing leaf sheath. The simulation models demonstrated these factors could produce a twisted structure like DSK115. The study revealed the twisting of leaf blades is consistent with a mechanical explanation by physical contact between the inner and outer edges of a leaf blade and physical inhibition of leaf growth.

    Genetics, 28 Jun. 2024, [Peer-reviewed], [International Magazine]
    English, Scientific journal, Interspecific F1 hybrids between Asian (Oryza sativa) and African rice (Oryza glaberrima) exhibit severe sterility caused by the accumulation of hybrid sterility genes/loci at 15 or more loci. The mechanisms underlying the hybrid sterility genes are largely unknown; however, a few genes associated with the killer-protector system, which is the system most frequently associated with hybrid sterility genes, have been identified. We previously produced fertile plants as tetraploids derived from diploid interspecific F1 hybrids through anther culture; therefore, it was suggested that hybrid sterility could be overcome following tetraploidization. We investigated whether tetraploid interspecific plants produced by crossing are fertile and tested the involvement of hybrid sterility genes in the process. Fertile tetraploid interspecific F1 hybrid plants were obtained by crossing two tetraploids of Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima. To elucidate the relationships between pollen fertility and the hybrid sterility loci in the tetraploid F1 microspores, we performed genetic analyses of the tetraploid F2 hybrids and diploid plants obtained from the microspores of tetraploid interspecific hybrids by anther culture. The result suggested that the tetraploid interspecific hybrids overcame pollen and seed infertility based on the proportion of loci with the killer-protector system present in the tetraploids. The heterozygous hybrid sterility loci with the killer-protector system in the tetraploid segregate the homozygous killed allele (16.7-21.4%), with more than three-quarters of the gametes surviving. We theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that fertile rice progenies can be grown from tetraploid interspecific hybrids.

    English, Scientific journal, The genetic mechanisms of reproductive isolation have been widely investigated within Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa); however, relevant genes between diverged species have been in sighted rather less. Herein, a gene showing selfish behavior was discovered in hybrids between the distantly related rice species Oryza longistaminata and O. sativa. The selfish allele S13l in the S13 locus impaired male fertility, discriminately eliminating pollens containing the allele S13s from O. sativa in heterozygotes (S13s/S13l). Genetic analysis revealed that a gene encoding a chromatin-remodeling factor (CHR) is involved in this phenomenon and a variety of O. sativa owns the truncated gene OsCHR745, whereas its homologue OlCHR has a complete structure in O. longistaminata. CRISPR-Cas9-mediated loss of function mutants restored fertility in hybrids. African cultivated rice, which naturally lacks the OlCHR homologue, is compatible with both S13s and S13l carriers. These results suggest that OlCHR is a Killer gene, which leads to reproductive isolation.

    English, Scientific journal, PROG1 is necessary but insufficient for the main culm inclination while TAC1 partially takes part in it, and both genes promote tiller inclination in Asian wild rice. Asian wild rice (Oryza rufipogon), the ancestor of cultivated rice (O. sativa), has a prostrate architecture, with tillers branching from near the ground. The main culm of each plant grows upward and then tilts during the vegetative stage. Genes controlling tiller angle have been reported; however, their genetic contributions to the culm movement have not been quantified. Here, we quantified their genetic contributions to angular kinematics in the main culm and tillers. For the main culm inclination, one major QTL surrounding the PROG1 region was found. In cultivated rice, tillers firstly inclined and lately rose, while it kept inclining in wild rice. It was suggested that PROG1 affected the tiller elevation angle in the later kinematics, whereas TAC1 was weakly associated with the tiller angle in the whole vegetative stage. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) suggested that these angular changes are produced by the bending of culm bases. Because near-isogenic lines (NILs) of wild rice-type Prog1 and Tac1 alleles in the genetic background of cultivated rice did not show the prostrate architecture, the involvement of another gene(s) for inclination of the main culm was suggested. Our findings will not only contribute to the understanding of the morphological transition during domestication but also be used in plant breeding to precisely reproduce the ideal plant architecture by combining the effects of multiple genes.

    English, Scientific journal, Low-temperature adaptation in rice is mediated by the ability of a genotype to tolerate chilling temperatures. A genetic locus on chromosome 11 was analysed for chilling tolerance at the plumule stage in rice. The tolerant allele of A58, a japonica landrace in Japan, was inherited as a recessive gene (ctp-1A58), whereas the susceptible alleles from wild rice (Ctp-1W107) and modern variety (Ctp-1HY) were the dominant genes. Another recessive tolerant allele (ctp-1Silewah) was found in a tropical japonica variety (Silewah). Fine-mapping revealed that a candidate gene for the ctp-1 locus encoded a protein similar to the nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) protein, in which frameshift mutation by a 73 bp-deletion might confer chilling tolerance in ctp-1A58. Analysis of near-isogenic lines demonstrated that ctp-1A58 imparted tolerance effects only at severe chilling temperatures of 0.5 °C and 2 °C, both at plumule and seedling stages. Chilling acclimation treatments at a wide range of temperatures (8 °C-16 °C) for 72 h concealed the susceptible phenotype of Ctp-1W107 and Ctp-1HY. Furthermore, short-term acclimation treatment of 12 h at 8 °C was enough to be fully acclimated. These results suggest that the NLR gene induces a susceptible response upon exposure to severe chilling stress, however, another interacting gene(s) for acclimation response could suppress the maladaptive phenotype caused by the Ctp-1 allele. This study provides new insights for the adaptation and breeding of rice in a low-temperature environment.

    English, Scientific journal, INTRODUCTION: Rice genomes contain endogenous viral elements homologous to rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV) from the pararetrovirus family Caulimoviridae. These viral elements, known as endogenous RTBV-like sequences (eRTBVLs), comprise five subfamilies, eRTBVL-A, -B, -C, -D, and -X. Four subfamilies (A, B, C, and X) are present to a limited degree in the genomes of the Asian cultivated rice Oryza sativa (spp. japonica and indica) and the closely related wild species Oryza rufipogon. METHODS: The eRTBVL-D sequences are widely distributed within these and other Oryza AA-genome species. Fifteen eRTBVL-D segments identified in the japonica (Nipponbare) genome occur mostly at orthologous chromosomal positions in other AA-genome species. The eRTBVL-D sequences were inserted into the genomes just before speciation of the AA-genome species. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Ten eRTBVL-D segments are located at six loci, which were used for our evolutionary analyses during the speciation of the AA-genome species. The degree of genetic differentiation varied among the eRTBVL-D segments. Of the six loci, three showed phylogenetic trees consistent with the standard speciation pattern (SSP) of the AA-genome species (Type A), and the other three represented phylogenies different from the SSP (Type B). The atypical phylogenetic trees for the Type B loci revealed chromosome region-specific evolution among the AA-genome species that is associated with phylogenetic incongruences: complex genome rearrangements between eRTBVL-D segments, an introgression between the distant species, and low genetic diversity of a shared eRTBVL-D segment. Using eRTBVL-D as an indicator, this study revealed the phylogenetic incongruence of local chromosomal regions with different topologies that developed during speciation.

    English, Scientific journal, The Mekong Delta River in Vietnam is facing salinity intrusion caused by climate change and sea-level rise that is severely affecting rice cultivation. Here, we evaluated salinity responses of 97 rice accessions (79 landraces and 18 improved accessions) from the Mekong Delta population by adding 100 mM NaCl to the nutrient solution for up to 20 days. We observed a wide distribution in salinity tolerance/sensitivity, with two major peaks across the 97 accessions when using the standard evaluation system (SES) developed by the International Rice Research Institute. SES scores revealed strong negative correlations (ranging from - 0.68 to - 0.83) with other phenotypic indices, such as shoot elongation length, root elongation length, shoot dry weight, and root dry weight. Mineral concentrations of Na+ in roots, stems, and leaves and Ca2+ in roots and stems were positively correlated with SES scores, suggesting that tolerant accessions lower their cation exchange capacity in the root cell wall. The salinity tolerance of Mekong Delta accessions was independent from the previously described salinity tolerance-related locus Saltol, which encodes an HKT1-type transporter in the salinity-tolerant cultivars Nona Bokra and Pokkali. Indeed, genome-wide association studies using SES scores and shoot dry weight ratios of the 79 accessions as traits identified a single common peak located on chromosome 1. This SNP did not form a linkage group with other nearby SNPs and mapped to the 3' untranslated region of gene LOC_Os01g32830, over 6.5 Mb away from the Saltol locus. LOC_Os01g32830 encodes chloroplast glycolate/glycerate translocator 1 (OsPLGG1), which is responsible for photorespiration and growth. SES and shoot dry weight ratios differed significantly between the two possible haplotypes at the causal SNP. Through these analyses, we characterize Doc Phung, one of the most salinity-tolerant varieties in the Mekong Delta population and a promising new genetic resource.
  • How to establish a mutually beneficial relationship between a transposon and its host: lessons from Tam3 in Antirrhinum.

    English, Scientific journal, The transposon Tam3 of Antirrhinum (snapdragon) has acquired properties that distinguish it from other transposons. Mobile DNA, commonly referred to as a transposable element or transposon, is considered to be synonymous with a selfish factor. That is, a transposable element increases in copy number and moves copies of itself independently of the survival of the host organism. Therefore, the host collectively regulates the transposition activities of most transposable elements in its genome by epigenetic means. However, our analyses of the structure and behavior of Tam3, as shown by the following five results, provide evidence that it does not behave in a selfish manner in relation to the host. 1) Active transposable elements normally increase the abundance of their non-autonomous elements, whereas Tam3 is known to have no non-autonomous elements, and a limited number of around 10 copies of autonomous elements present in the genome have been isolated as active copies. 2) Tam3 does not transpose at 25 ℃, which is the optimal growth temperature for Antirrhinum. Transposition of Tam3 occurs only at low temperatures of about 15 ℃, which is stressful for Antirrhinum. 3) Few strains of Antirrhinum have been found to contain genes that specifically suppress Tam3 transposition. 4) Most of the Tam3 insertions found in Antirrhinum genes do not affect the host genome, and the expression of these host genes is not completely suppressed. 5) Transcription and translation of the Tam3 transposase gene are not epigenetically regulated by the host. These five experimental results constitute evidence that Tam3 retains features that are dissimilar to those of many other transposons and that it does not behave in a selfish manner that is detrimental to the survival of the host. In this review, we consider what kinds of behavior are required if transposons are to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with their hosts, with reference to Tam3.

  • Influence of Gender Bias on Distribution of Hybrid Sterility in Rice.
    Zin Mar Myint; Yohei Koide
    Frontiers in plant science, 13, 898206, 898206, 2022, [Peer-reviewed], [Last author, Corresponding author], [International Magazine]
    English, Scientific journal, Hybrid sterility genes define species identities, setting reproductive barriers between distantly related Oryza relatives. They induce allelic-specific selective gametic abnormalities by killing pollens, embryo sacs, or both, and thus resulting in the male specific transmission ratio distortion (mTRD), female specific transmission ratio distortion (f TRD), and/or sex-independent transmission ratio distortion (siTRD) in hybrids. Although more than 50 hybrid sterility genes have been reported, comprehensive analysis on the distributional pattern of TRD systems in Oryza species is limited. In this review, we surveyed the TRD systems and the underlying possible mechanisms in these species. In rice, pollen killers which cause mTRD are often observed in higher frequency than egg killers and gamete eliminators, which are factors affecting f TRD and siTRD, respectively. Due to the rather massive population of pollen grains, their reduction in the number caused by hybrid sterility possesses a smaller selective disadvantage to the hybrid individuals, in contrast to female gamete abortion. The pattern of TRD distribution displays less abundancy in siTRD. It suggests that fixation of siTRD might require a certain time rather than single sex-specific factors. The presence of linked sterility factors worked for mTRD and f TRD, and strength of their linkage in chromosomal regions might determine the type of sterility and TRD. The study of TRD systems has a potential to reveal the relationships between selfish genes and their functions for reproductive isolation.

    English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cold stress in rice (Oryza sativa) plants at the reproductive stage prevents normal anther development and causes pollen sterility. Tapetum hypertrophy in anthers has been associated with pollen sterility in response to cold at the booting stage. Here, we reexamined whether the relationships between anther abnormality and pollen sterility caused by cold stress at the booting stage in rice can be explained by a monovalent factor such as tapetum hypertrophy. METHODS: After exposing plants to a 4-day cold treatment at the booting stage, we collected and processed anthers for transverse sectioning immediately and at the flowering stage. We anatomically evaluated the effect of cold treatment on anther internal morphologies, pollen fertilities and pollen numbers in the 13 cultivars with various cold sensitivities. KEY RESULTS: We observed four types of morphological anther abnormalities at each stage. Pollen sterility was positively correlated with the frequency of undeveloped locules, but not with tapetum hypertrophy as commonly believed. In cold-sensitive cultivars grown at low temperatures, pollen sterility was more frequent than anther morphological abnormalities, and some lines showed remarkably high pollen sterility without any anther morphological alterations. Most morphological anomalies occurred only in specific areas within large and small locules. Anther length tended to shorten in response to cold treatment and was positively correlated with pollen number. One cultivar showed a considerably reduced pollen number, but fertile pollen grains under cold stress. We propose three possible relationships to explain anther structure and pollen sterility and reduction due to cold stress. CONCLUSIONS: The pollen sterility caused by cold stress at the booting stage was correlated with the frequency of entire locule-related abnormalities, which might represent a phenotypic consequence, but not a direct cause of pollen abortion. Multivalent factors might underly the complicated relationships between anther abnormality and pollen sterility in rice.

    Scientific journal, Abstract
    Three-dimensional plant shapes are influenced by their phyllotaxy, which plays a significant role in their environmental adaptation. Grasses with distichous phyllotaxy have linearly aligned culms and usually have vertical fan-like shapes. Counterintuitively, some distichous phyllotaxy grasses have radial shapes. Here, we investigate the organ-level mechanism underlying radial shape development in the distichous phyllotactic wild rice species (Oryza rufipogon). Detailed time-course phenotyping and three-dimensional micro-computed tomography showed that changes in the elevation angle in the main culm and azimuth angle in the primary tillers contribute to radial shape development. To infer the mechanical basis of the shape change, we simulated the movements of culms controlled by different kinematic factors. The computational models predicted that the combination of movements, including that controlled by negative gravitropism, produces the overall radial shape. This prediction was experimentally assessed. The analysis using a near-isogenic line of the gene, PROG1 for prostrate growth and the gravitropic mutant (lazy1) showed an association between genes and our model parameters. Our findings provide a simple, yet substantial, kinematic model for how the shape in distichous phyllotaxy plants changes as part of their adaptation to the surrounding environment.

    English, Scientific journal, In F1 hybrids of Oryza sativa (Asian rice) and Oryza glaberrima (African rice), heterozygosity leads to a complete gamete abortion because of allelic conflict at each of the 13 hybrid sterility (HS) loci. We systematically produced 19 plants from the F1 hybrids of both the rice species by the anther culture (AC) method. Five of the 19 interspecific hybrid plants were partially fertile and able to produce seeds. Unlike ordinal doubled haploid plants resulting from AC, these regenerated plants showed various ploidy levels (diploid to pentaploid) and different zygosities (completely homozygous, completely heterozygous, and a combination). These properties were attributable to meiotic anomalies in the interspecific hybrid F1 plants. Examination of the genetic structures of the regenerated plants suggested meiotic non-reduction took place in the interspecific hybrid F1 plants. The centromeric regions in the regenerated plants revealed that the abnormal first and/or second divisions of meiosis, namely the first division restitution (FDR) and/or second division restitution (SDR), had occurred in the interspecific hybrid. Immunohistochemical observations also verified these phenomena. FDR and SDR occurrences at meiosis might strongly lead to the formation of diploid microspores. The results demonstrated that meiotic anomalies functioned as a reproductive barrier occurred before the HS genes acted in gamete of the interspecific hybrid. Although such meiotic anomalies are detrimental to pollen development, the early rescue of microspores carrying the diploid gamete resulted in the fertile regenerated plants. The five partially fertile plants carrying tetraploid genomes with heterozygous alleles of the HS loci produced fertile diploid pollens, implying that the diploid gametes circumvented the allelic conflicts at the HS loci. We also proposed how diploid male gametes avoid HS with the killer-protector model.

    English, Scientific journal, Transgressive segregation produces hybrid progeny phenotypes that exceed the parental phenotypes. Unlike heterosis, extreme phenotypes caused by transgressive segregation are heritably stable. We examined transgressive phenotypes of flowering time in rice, and revealed transgressive segregation in F2 populations derived from a cross between parents with similar (proximal) days to heading (DTH). The DTH phenotypes of the A58 × Kitaake F2 progenies were frequently more extreme than those of either parent. These transgressive phenotypes were maintained in the F3 and F4 populations. Both A58 and Kitaake are japonica rice cultivars adapted to Hokkaido, Japan, which is a high-latitude region, and have a short DTH. Among the four known loci required for a short DTH, three loci had common alleles in A58 and Kitaake, implying there is a similar genetic basis for DTH between the two varieties. A genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis based on the F4 population identified five new quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with transgressive DTH phenotypes. Each of these QTL had different degrees of additive effects on DTH, and two QTL had an epistatic effect on each other. Thus, a genome-wide SNP analysis facilitated the detection of genetic loci associated with extreme DTH phenotypes, and revealed that the transgressive phenotypes were produced by exchanging the complementary alleles of a few minor QTL in the similar parental phenotypes.

    Japanese, Higher organisms adapt in changing environments by reorganizing a new set of genes through genetic recombination and producing a large amount of genetic variation. Therefore, the efficient use of biological resources underlying the genetic variation of crops is important for achieving the sustainable agriculture under global climate change. Here, I present an overview of the genetic studies on New Rice for Africa (NERICA) that was developed by interspecific crossings in rice, and review our recent analysis about useful and potentially useless genes introgressed from a distantly related species into NERICA.

    将来の食糧安定生産のため、利用可能な遺伝子プールを拡大することは、育種学の使命の一つである。アフリカ栽培・野生イネは、膨大な遺伝変異を有するが、有用遺伝子探索がほとんど行われていない未利用遺伝資源である。本研究では、ゲノム情報を利用した効率的な遺伝子探索システムをアフリカイネに適用し、初期生育や耐虫性などの有用形質に関わる遺伝子の迅速な単離を行う。また、雑種不稔性を回避する種間橋渡し系統を確立し、異種遺伝子の利用を促進するとともに、未解明である種間雑種強勢の遺伝基盤を明らかにし、種間雑種の新しい活用法を構築する。
    これまでに、主に、独自のアフリカ栽培イネ集団をもちいたゲノム解析を行い、データを参照配列である日本晴にマッピングした際に得られるSNP情報に基づくゲノムワイド関連解析実験系を構築した。この実験系を用いることで様々な形質に関してゲノムワイド関連解析を行うことが可能となった。さらに、SNP情報より、アフリカ栽培イネを複数の分集団に区分し、各分集団ごとの系統の特徴化を進めた。また、アフリカ栽培イネが持つ遺伝子の単離を迅速に行うために、分集団ごとに系統を選抜し、これら系統の交配による組換え自殖系統群作出を行った。当該年度においては、F3世代まで世代促進を進めた。さらに、アフリカイネが持つ初期生育性や耐虫性など、特徴的な表現型の予備的解析を行った。その結果、初期生育の旺盛さに関与すると考えられる第2葉と第3葉の葉身長にアフリカ栽培イネ内で表現型多型があることが示された。ゲノムワイド関連解析を行ったところ、第2葉葉身長および第3葉葉身長と有意に関連のある染色体領域が明らかとなった。また、複数の種間雑種不稔遺伝子について、遺伝子同定に向けた準備を行うとともに、ゲノム編集による遺伝子ノックアウトの実験系の構築を進めた。

    作物の器官の形を自在に操ることは、遺伝育種学や作物学において、未だ達成されていない未解決の問題である。しかしながら、個々の細胞の成長と、多細胞からなる器官の複雑な立体構造形成がどのように関与しているのかは明らかではなく、そのため、器官形状の自在な制御は未だ困難である。さらに、植物の立体形状は遺伝子と環境の双方によって複合的にコントロールされており、従来の遺伝学のみでは立体構造形成の原理をとらえることは困難である。本研究では、イネのコメの形を決定する頴花の形状をモデルケースとし、物理ベースの数理モデリングにより、器官の立体構造の形成原理を解明する。コメは世界の主要な食料の一つであり、その形は食味や収量性だけでなく、食文化などとも関連する重要な形質である。そのため、コメの形状を予測・操作できる技術はイネの品種改良や、食糧生産の安定化にとって重要であると考えられる。
    そのために、まず、単一の遺伝子型かつ単一の環境下において、イネの頴花発生過程をシミュレートする物理ベースのモデルを構築する。発生過程にあるイネ頴花を、実体顕微鏡および共焦点レーザー顕微鏡により時系列的に解析し、立体構造の変形過程を、器官を形成する部位毎の生長率として定量する。定量データをもとに、最終的な形状を記述できるモデルを構築し、検証を行う。
    さらに、遺伝子型情報とモデルパラメータの関係性を明らかにするために、ゲノム情報が既知のイネ品種を多数利用し、発生過程にあるイネ頴花の立体構造の変形過程を実体顕微鏡と共焦点レーザー顕微鏡を用いて解析する。

    In the present study, we identified the genetic factors involved in the differentiation of juvenile-adult phase transition during vegetative growth between rice japonica and indica varieties, and attempted to elucidate the effect of phase transition on agricultural traits. The main results were 1) identification of the causal genes for qJA1 and qJA2, and finding related pathways in the transcriptome. 2) We found that the japonica alleles of qJA1 and qJA2 may be suitable for cultivation in high latitude areas. 3) The effect of the growing environment on the phase transition was clarified. 4) It was found that the defense response mechanism against blast disease changes as the progresses of growing stage.

    Rice, the staple food of the Japanese, is a diploid plant. On the other hand, it is possible to produce tetraploid rice, in which the number of chromosomes is doubled, by treatment with chemical substances such as colchicine. Although it has been suggested that tetraploid rice plants have higher seed fertility when hybridized compared to diploid rice plants, this study found abnormal vegetative growth other than low seed fertility in tetraploid hybrids, which may be a new breeding barrier.

  • Rice breeding strategy with the use of active transposable elements
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    01 Apr. 2014 - 31 Mar. 2019
    OKUMOTO Yutaka
    Non-autonomous transposable element mPing is actively transposing in the genome of rice variety Gimbozu. To reveal the usage of mPing as a tool to develop novel breeding strategy, we analyzed the novel traits closely related to the mPing transposition. At first, several stress tolerant plants could be selected from Gimbozu population. In addition, a novel mPing insertion specifically observed in a tolerant line causes the activation of the downstream gene under the stress condition. Secondary, slender-glume mutant line (IM294) derived from Gimbozu is frequently reverted to a normal-glume plant as the result of excision of mPing inserted at the Rurm1 gene. Among the reverse mutants, a few plants (VGI: Vigorously growing IM294) which exceptionally exhibited the vigorous growth are segregating. All the VGI plants harbor large number of newly inserted mPing. Induction of tentative heterozygosity caused by the newly inserted mPing elements may trigger the vigorous growth.

    In order to figure out the nature of Asian wild rice, Oryza rufipogon, natural wild populations were investigated in three tropical Asian countries, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar. Based on the genetic variation among wild populations using molecular markers, genetic population structures of annual and perennial wild rice were found to vary according to the propagation manners and environmental conditions. Gene flow between wild and cultivated rice was detected using molecular markers on domestication traits. It suggests that frequency of the gene flow is mainly due to the plant distribution conditions.

    To utilize the inter-specific hybrid vigor, it is necessary to understand the genetic mechanisms inducing hybrid sterility, which is a major obstacle for using hybrids in rice. Previous studies showed that the S1 chromosomal region causes seed sterility in hybrids between African rice species, O. glaberrima and Asian rice species, O. sativa. In this study, I used a mutant for hybrid sterility induced by the S1 chromosomal region. By using RNA-seq analysis, I identified one candidate gene carrying the mutation. I revealed that hybrid sterility phenotype is complemented by transformation of the candidate gene into the mutant.

    本研究ではイネの種間雑種で見いだされた顕著な雑種強勢を利用するため、障壁となる現象「雑種不稔」の克服を目指している。アジア栽培イネO.sativaとアフリカ栽培イネO.glaberrimaの種間交雑では得られた雑種は種子不稔を示す。これまでにイネの種間雑種において種子不稔を引き起こす遺伝的要因の一つとして、S1遺伝子が報告されている。S1はヘテロ接合の状態で特異的に作用し、花粉および種子の退化を引き起こす。S1はイネ第6染色体上にマッピングされているが、原因となる遺伝子の同定はできていない。そこで本研究では、S1に着目し、遺伝子機能欠損変異体を単離する。得られた変異体を利用してS1の原因遺伝子の特定を行う。変異体の作出には重イオンビームを用いる。通常、突然変異処理を行うと多くの遺伝子が影響を受けるため、種子稔性が低下した個体が頻繁に生じる。一方、重イオンビームはその軌跡に沿って半径数nm程度の範囲に広がるDNA二本鎖を電離作用により切断するため、切断箇所以外の遺伝子が影響を受けるリスクが低いと考えられている。そのため、本研究においてS1遺伝子のみを欠損させ、種子稔性が上昇する個体をスクリーニングするために適した変異処理であると考えられる。
    本年度はS1遺伝子をヘテロ接合で持つ種子を交配により作出し、得られた交配後の種子に重イオンビーム(炭素イオン照射 150Gy LET30)を照射した。重イオンビーム処理後、圃場に植物体を移植し、種子稔性が高い個体を選抜した。選抜した個体はS1遺伝子が欠損した個体である可能性が高い。そこですでに報告されているS1遺伝子候補領域をシークエンスし、変異が生じている箇所を特定した。

    本研究の目的はNERICAに存在するアフリカ栽培イネ由来の有用遺伝子およびアジア栽培イネ由来の収量性関連遺伝子の座乗染色体領域を明らかにし、遺伝子の選抜に利用可能なDNAマーカーを作出すること、およびNERICAが潜在的に持つアジア栽培イネ・アフリカ栽培イネ間の雑種不稔遺伝子(不良形質)の座乗位置を決定し、遺伝障壁克服のための方策を検討することである。本年度はNERICAにアジア栽培イネを交雑して作成された雑種集団を用い、複数の形質に関してQTL解析およびQTL領域の詳細な絞り込みを行った。
    1)昨年度までにリン酸欠乏圃場条件下における分げつ数の低下を指標とし、リン酸欠乏耐性に関する複数のQTLを検出した。これらのQTLはアフリカ栽培イネに由来する対立遺伝子がリン酸欠乏耐性を増加させる効果があったことから、NERICAが持つアフリカ栽培イネ由来の有用遺伝子の一つであると考えられた。本年度はこれらの結果をまとめ、公表した。
    2)また、同様の集団を用いて到穂日数に関するQTL解析を行ったところ、複数のQTLが存在し、そのうちの一つはすでに報告のあるイネの出穂期関連遺伝子の座乗領域に存在することが明らかとなった。そこで本年度は、当該遺伝子の塩基配列解析を行った。その結果、検出したQTL領域に存在する出穂期関連遺伝子において、NERICAが塩基変異を持つことを明らかにした。
    3)同様に雑種不稔性に関与する解析を行ったところ、複数のQTLが検出され、QTLの一つは上述のリン酸欠乏耐性に関与するQTLと連鎖していることを明らかにした。
    4)さらに日本、フィリピン、アフリカから得られたいもち病菌系を用いてNERICAのいもち病抵抗性に関与する染色体領域の解析を行った。その結果、NERICAのいもち病抵抗性にも、複数の遺伝子が関与していることを明らかにした。
