Abstract

Pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) is a component of glycolysis to mediate endosperm energy charge by adjusting the ratio of ATP to ADP and AMP that proposed to balance the flow of carbon into starch, protein, fatty acid and amino acid biosynthesis. However, these were inconsistent with the first report of a T-DNA insertional knockout mutant of the rice PPDK gene (flo4) showed that rice with inactivated PPDK gene failed to produce a opaque seeds. Therefore, the PPDK might have multifaceted functions in grain filling stage, which in some ways might depend on the direction of the reversible catalysis. Suweon 542 is a rice (Oryza sativa L.) mutant developed from Oryza sativa ssp. japonica cv. Namil. Suweon 542 has a milky-white floury endosperm suitable for dry filling, with low starch damage, low grain hardness, and fine flour particle size. The mutant locus on chromosome 5 controls the floury endosperm phenotype of Suweon 542. Fine mapping of this locus is required for efficient breeding of rice germplasm suitable for dry milling. In this study, whole genome of Suweon 542 and Milyang 23 were re-sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2500. Co-segregation analysis of F3:4 family populations derived from Suweon 542/Milyang 23 was performed using eight CAPS markers and phenotypic evaluation of the endosperm. The target region was mapped to a 33 kb region and identified to encode cytosolic pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase protein (cyOsPPDK). A G→A SNP in exon 8 of cyOsPPDK resulting in a missense mutation from Gly to Asp at amino acid position 404 was responsible for the floury endosperm of Suweon 542. qRT-PCR experiments revealed that FLO4-4 was expressed to a considerably higher level in Suweon 542 than in Namil during the grain filling stage. Overall, fine mapping of FLO4-4 and candidate gene analysis provided further insight into the floury endosperm of rice, and reveal a novel SNP in cyOsPPDK gene can affect the floury endosperm phenotype through active PPDK gene during grain filling stage.
