Title The Maize ZmBES1/BZR1-9 Transcription Factor Accelerates Flowering in Transgenic <i>Arabidopsis</i> and Rice.
Abstract:
In model plants, the BRI1-EMS suppressor 1 (BES1)/brassinazole-resistant 1 (BZR1) transcription factors play vital roles in regulating growth, development, and stimuli response. However, the roles of maize <i>ZmBES1/BZR1</i> members are largely unknown. In this research, the <i>ZmBES1/BZR1-9</i> gene was ectopically expressed in <i>Arabidopsis</i> and rice for the phenotyping of flowering. We found that the complementation and overexpression of <i>ZmBES1/BZR1-9</i> in <i>BES1-D</i> mutant and wild type <i>Arabidopsis</i> both resulted in early flowering that was about 10 days shorter than in the untransformed control under long-day conditions. In addition, there was no difference in the rosette leaf number between all transgenic lines and the control. Subsequently, the <i>ZmBES1/BZR1-9</i> gene was overexpressed in rice. It was found that overexpression lines of rice exhibited early flowering with heading dates that were 8 days shorter compared with untransformed plants. Moreover, the results of RNA-seq and qRT-PCR showed that five flowering-regulated genes, namely <i>At2-MMP</i>, <i>AtPCC1</i>, <i>AtMYB56</i>, <i>AtPELPK1</i>, and <i>AtPRP10,</i> were significantly up-regulated in all complementary and overexpressing lines of <i>Arabidopsis</i>. Meanwhile, the results of RNA-seq showed that 69 and 33 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were up- and down-regulated in transgenic rice, respectively. Four flowering-related genes, namely <i>OsGA20OX1</i>, <i>OsCCR19</i>, <i>OsBTBN19</i>, and <i>OsRNS4</i> were significantly up-regulated in transgenic lines. To sum up, our findings demonstrate that <i>ZmBES1/BZR1-9</i> is involved in controlling flowering and provide insights into further underlying roles of <i>BES1/BZR1s</i> in regulating growth and development in crops.
