Abstract:

A stably inherited embryo and endosperm defective mutant, named embryo and endosperm defective 1 (eed1), was obtained from the mutant population of rice Zhonghua 11, generated by ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS). The 1000-grain weight, grain length, grain width, grain thickness, germination rate, total starch, amylose, and storage protein contents in eed1 mature caryopses were significantly decreased compared with wild type. In eed1, the caryopses were shrunken and the endosperm was opaque. Scanning electron microscopy observation revealed that starch granules in eed1 endosperm cells were loosely packed, in single, disperse and spherical forms. The embryo of eed1 was abnormal, and some caryopses showed no sign of embryonic differentiation. Most genes involved in biosynthesis of starch and storage protein were down-regulated in eed1 endosperm by qRT-PCR. EED1 was mapped in an interval of 672 kb on chromosome 9 using a F2 population derived from a cross between eed1 and Nanjing 6. The region contained 114 open reading frames. This study lays a foundation for further studying EED1 gene in regulating development of rice embryo and endosperm.

Key words: rice, embryo and endosperm development, grain filling
