Abstract:

Fine mapping and cloning of genes for leaf color mutation are of great importance in the study of chlorophyll biosynthesis and the structure, function, genetics and development of chloroplast in plant. A temperature-sensitive green-white-stripe leaf mutant gws was isolated from a rice T-DNA insertion mutant pool. Genetic analysis showed that the mutation was generated in tissue culture, rather than by T-DNA insertion, and it was controlled by a recessive nuclear gene. Linkage analysis of stripe plants with homologous recessive genes in an F2 population from the cross of gws × PA 64 indicated that Gws was flanked by the SSR markers of RM19680 and RM136 on Chromosome6, with genetic distances of 1.1 cM and 3.6 cM, respectively. The gene was further delimited by the newly developed markers InDel 15 and InDel 16 into a 73 kb region. A total of 13 genes, including 3 candidate leaf color genes, were found at this interval. Sequence alignments of these candidate genes between the wild-type and mutant revealed at least two bases deletion in the exon of LOC Os06g14620 (ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase small chain), resulting in a frame-shift mutation and a premature stop codon. The same gene mutation caused by similar green-white-stripe (St1-Stripe 1) was documented previously. A slightly different phenotypes were observed between the mutants st1 and gws. In st1 plants, chlorotic leaves with a few longitudinal green stripes were observed until the fourth or fifth leaf blade mergence and the phenotype was later than that in gws emerged from second leaf seedling.
