Title <i>ERECTA1</i> Acts Upstream of the OsMKKK10-OsMKK4-OsMPK6 Cascade to Control spikelet number by Regulating Cytokinin Metabolism in Rice.
Abstract:
grain number is a flexible trait that strongly contributes to grain yield. In rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i>), the OsMKKK10-OsMKK4-OsMPK6 cascade, which is negatively regulated by the dual-specificity phosphatase GSN1, coordinates the trade-off between grain number and grain size. However, the specific components upstream and downstream of the GSN1-MAPK module that regulate spikelet number per panicle remain obscure. Here, we report that ERECTA1 (OsER1), a negative regulator of spikelet number per panicle, acts upstream of the OsMKKK10-OsMKK4-OsMPK6 cascade and that the OsER1-OsMKKK10-OsMKK4-OsMPK6 pathway is required to maintain cytokinin homeostasis. OsMPK6 directly interacts with and phosphorylates the zinc finger transcription factor DST to enhance its transcriptional activation of <i>CYTOKININ OXIDASE2</i> (<i>OsCKX2</i>), indicating that the OsER1-OsMKKK10-OsMKK4-OsMPK6 pathway shapes panicle morphology by regulating Cytokinin Metabolism. Furthermore, overexpression of either <i>DST</i> or <i>OsCKX2</i> rescued the spikelet number phenotype of the <i>OsER1</i>, <i>osmkkk10</i>, <i>OsMKK4</i>, and <i>OsMPK6</i> mutants, suggesting that the DST-OsCKX2 module genetically functions downstream of the OsER1-OsMKKK10-OsMKK4-OsMPK6 pathway. These findings reveal specific crosstalk between a MAPK signaling pathway and Cytokinin Metabolism, shedding light on how developmental signals modulate phytohormone homeostasis to shape the inflorescence.
