Embodiment 1

[0168] Example 1 - Identification of NRT1.1B / OsNPF6.5

[0169] A wide range of rice varieties for nitrate and ammonium uptake and utilization were analyzed, including 34 indica and japonica cultivars. exist 15 in indica rice after N-nitrate labeling 15 N accumulation was significantly higher than that of japonica rice ( Figure 7 a), while in 15 Between indica and japonica rice after N-ammonium labeling 15 The difference in N accumulation was not statistically significant ( Figure 7 b). This analysis pointed out that indica rice actually had higher nitrate uptake activity than japonica rice. To identify genetic variants associated with divergent use of this nitrate, localization mapping was performed using chlorate, a toxic analog of nitrate. After testing 134 rice cultivars using the chlorate sensitivity assay, indica cultivars could be phenotypically distinguished from japonica cultivars by significantly higher chlorate sensitivity ( Figure 7 c). The...

[0179] Embodiment 2——NRT1.1B SNP analysis

[0180] Sequence analysis revealed two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the coding sequence (CDS) of NRT1.1B between Nipponbare and IR24. SNP1 (c.980C>T) results in a missense mutation where threonine (Thr) in Nipponbare corresponds to methionine (Met) in IR24 (p.Thr327Met substitution), while SNP2 is a synonymous nucleotide substitution (c.1335G>C)( figure 1 d). SNP1 and SNP2 in NRT1.1B were also detected between the parents JX17 and ZYQ8 used for qCHR10 mapping (Table 3), confirming the previous speculation that NRT1.1B corresponds to qCHR10. Amino acid substitutions in NRT1.1B-Nipponbare / IR24 occur in the central cytoplasmic loop (CCL), which is critical for trafficking function. This led us to hypothesize that NRT1.1B mutations caused by SNP1 may be responsible for the divergence in chlorate sensitivity and nitrate utilization between Nipponbare and IR24.

Embodiment 3

[0187] Example 3 - Verification of the NRT1.1B allele

[0188] To test the hypothesis, near isogenic lines (NILs) were further examined, including the NRT1.1B-IR24 allele in the Nipponbare background ( Figure 8 e). Compared with Nippon Fine, NIL is in 15 Chlorate sensitivity was shown after N-nitrate labeling ( figure 1 e) and 15 N accumulation ( figure 1 f and Figure 8 f) significant increase. Transgenic analysis of NRT1.1B-Nipponbare / IR24 under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter or its corresponding native promoter showed that, in 15 15N accumulation in NRT1.1B-IR24 transgenic plants after N-nitrate labeling was higher than in NRT1.1B-Nipponbare transgenic plants ( figure 1 g and Figure 9 a-c). Furthermore, the transcript expression of NRT1.1B in NIL or IR24 was similar or even lower than that of Nipponbare ( Figure 9 d), The possibility that differences in gene expression lead to functional variation in these two NRT1.1B alleles is ruled ...

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This utility application claims the benefit of priority of Chinese application 201410495440.9 filed on September 24, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference. [0003] References to Sequence Listings Submitted Electronically [0004] A sequence listing created on September 21, 2015, with a size of 39 kilobytes and a file name of "NRT_ST25.txt", is submitted simultaneously with this specification in computer-readable form. This Sequence Listing is part of this specification and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0005] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of molecular biology. Background technique [0006] The domestication of many plants has been associated with dramatic increases in yield. Most phenotypic variation that occurs in natural populations is continuous and through multiple genetic influences. The identification of specific genes responsible for markedly different yi...
