Abstract:

As an essential process in life, natural senescenceis necessary to adapt plant to environment diversity, while earlier senescence could reduce yield per unit and cause inferior quality in crop production. Therefore, it is significant to elucidate senescence molecular mechanism in plant. Here, we reported a novel rice mutant esl6 derived from the progeny of EMS-induced restorer line Jinhui10, which senescent peculiarity was observed at the early stage of life. In detail, cultivated under the paddy field, the esl6 had no obvious difference with the wild type before the 4-leaf stage, while after that the whole leaf blade of esl6 displayed chlorosis in the tip and kept normal green in the base until the flowering stage. Subsequently, all leaf blades in the esl6 demonstrated chlorosis and senescence, still more severe at the upper position. Observation by scanning electron microscope showed that cell structures in the senescent location of esl6 leaf blade were abnormal and filled with ruptured cell membranes, enlarged vacuoles and broken organelles such as the chloroplasts containing incomplete stroma thylakoids and excessive starch grains. Meanwhile, early senescence significantly lessened photosynthetic pigment contents and photosynthetic rate. The activities of SOD, CAT, and POD raised and the contents of O2?, H2O2, and ·OH increased in the esl6 leaf tip, and all of the differences led to the extremely significant level compared with those of the wild type. Additionally, the mutational plant showed semi-dwarfism and shorter leaf blades, the first and second internodes decreased to the extremely significant level in statistics. Genetic analysis suggested that the mutational traitswere controlled by a recessive nuclear gene. The gene was finally mapped on chromosome 9 with 203 kb physical distances between Indel markers Sind09-3 and Sind09-4 on the basis of F2 generation of Xida1A/esl6. All of these provide a foundation for ESL6 cloning and function analysis and then are beneficial to ascertaining the molecular mechanism of senescence in Oryza sativa L.
