Title Expression of the Nitrate Transporter Gene <i>OsNRT1.1A/OsNPF6.3</i> Confers High Yield and Early Maturation in Rice.
Abstract:
Nitrogen (N) is a major driving force for crop yield improvement, but application of high levels of N delays flowering, prolonging maturation and thus increasing the risk of yield losses. Therefore, traits that enable utilization of high levels of N without delaying maturation will be highly desirable for crop breeding. Here, we show that OsNRT1.1A (OsNPF6.3), a member of the rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i>) nitrate transporter 1/peptide transporter family, is involved in regulating N utilization and flowering, providing a target to produce high yield and early maturation simultaneously. <i>OsNRT.1A</i> has functionally diverged from previously reported <i>NRT1.1</i> genes in plants and functions in upregulating the expression of N utilization-related genes not only for nitrate but also for ammonium, as well as flowering-related genes. Relative to the wild type, <i>OsNRT1.1A</i> mutants exhibited reduced N utilization and late flowering. By contrast, overexpression of <i>OsNRT1.1A</i> in rice greatly improved N utilization and grain yield, and maturation time was also significantly shortened. These effects were further confirmed in different rice backgrounds and also in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> Our study paves a path for the use of a single gene to dramatically increase yield and shorten maturation time for crops, outcomes that promise to substantially increase world food security.
