Title OsBSK3 Positively Regulates Grain Length and Weight by Inhibiting the phosphatase activity of OsPPKL1.
Abstract:
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a crucial class of plant hormones that regulate many important agronomic traits in rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.); thus, the BR signaling pathway is a very important tool for breeders to improve the grain yield and quantity of rice. Contrary to the well-established BR signaling pathway in <i>Arabidopsis</i>, there are significant gaps in the rice BR signaling pathway, especially the regulation mechanism from OsBSK3 to OsPPKLs and OsGSKs. In this study, we report how <i>OsBSK3</i> knockout mutants confer shorter and lighter grains and exhibit a typical BR-insensitive phenotype, suggesting <i>OsBSK3</i> plays a positive role in BR signaling without genetic redundancy with homologs. Furthermore, OsBSK3 could physically interact with OsPPKL1 and OsGSK3, the downstream components in BR signaling, as a scaffold protein, and inhibit the phosphatase activity of OsPPKL1 on the dephosphorylation of OsGSK3. In addition, the genetic evidence showed <i>OsBSK3</i> acts upstream of <i>OsPPKL1</i> in regulating grain length and weight. Our results clarify the role of <i>OsBSK3</i> and provide new insights into BR-signaling mechanisms, leading to potential new targets for the genetic improvement of rice.
