Abstract: We identified two strong dwarf mutants from Nipponbare by EMS mutagenesis, designated as s2-9 and s1-146a. The plant height of these two mutants was 26.3% and 19.2% of that of Nipponbare at the mature stage. They also had wider and dark green leaf at seedling stage. The GA3 treatment of seedling and α-amylase activity analysis in endosperm showed that the mutated gene was involved in GA biosynthesis. Fine mapping showed that the mutant phenotype was tightly linked with the d18 locus. There was a single nucleotide substitution at the 3'-splicing site between the first intron and the 2nd exon in s2-9, whereas there was a single nucleotide substitution in the 2nd exon in s1-146a, which caused a premature stop codon. Semi quantitative RT-PCR revealed that transcript of the D18 gene was up-regulated in s1-146aas compared with WT, but was not detected in s2-9.
