Title Control of grain size.and Weight by the OsMKKK10-OsMKK4-OsMAPK6 Signaling Pathway in Rice.
Abstract:
grain size.is one of the key agronomic traits that determine grain yield in crops. However, the mechanisms underlying grain size.control in crops remain elusive. Here we demonstrate that the OsMKKK10-OsMKK4-OsMAPK6 signaling pathway positively regulates grain size.and weight in rice. In rice, loss of OsMKKK10 function results in small and light grains, short panicles, and semi-dwarf plants, while overexpression of constitutively active OsMKKK10 (CA-OsMKKK10) results in large and heavy grains, long panicles, and tall plants. OsMKKK10 interacts with and phosphorylates OsMKK4. We identified an OsMKK4 gain-of-function mutant (large11-1D) that produces large and heavy grains. OsMKK4A227T encoded by the large11-1D allele has stronger kinase activity than OsMKK4. Plants overexpressing a constitutively active form of OsMKK4 (OsMKK4-DD) also produce large grains. Further biochemical and genetic analyses revealed that OsMKKK10, OsMKK4, and OsMAPK6 function in a common pathway to control grain size. Taken together, our study establishes an important genetic and molecular framework for OsMKKK10-OsMKK4-OsMAPK6 cascade-mediated control of grain size.and weight in rice.
