Title <i>OsJAZ11</i> regulates spikelet and seed development in rice.
Abstract:
seed size is one of the major determinants of seed weight and eventually, crop yield. As the global population is increasing beyond the capacity of current food production, enhancing seed size is a key target for crop breeders. Despite the identification of several genes and QTLs, current understanding about the molecular regulation of seed size/weight remains fragmentary. In the present study, we report novel role of a jasmonic acid (JA) signaling repressor, <i>OsJAZ11</i> controlling rice seed width and weight. Transgenic rice lines overexpressing <i>OsJAZ11</i> exhibited up to a 14% increase in seed width and ~30% increase in seed weight compared to wild type (WT). Constitutive expression of <i>OsJAZ11</i> dramatically influenced spikelet morphogenesis leading to extra glume-like structures, open hull, and abnormal numbers of floral organs. Furthermore, overexpression lines accumulated higher JA levels in spikelets and developing seeds. Expression studies uncovered altered expression of JA biosynthesis/signaling and MADS box genes in overexpression lines compared to WT. Yeast two-hybrid and pull-down assays revealed that OsJAZ11 interacts with OsMADS29 and OsMADS68. Remarkably, expression of <i>OsGW7</i>, a key negative regulator of grain size, was significantly reduced in overexpression lines. We propose that <i>OsJAZ11</i> participates in the regulation of seed size and spikelet development by coordinating the expression of JA-related, <i>OsGW7</i> and MADS genes.
