In the existing technology, the signal transduction mechanism of strigolactone in rice tiller formation is not fully understood, which makes it difficult to effectively regulate the number of rice tillers and affect rice yield.
By introducing the coding gene of the OsD14 mutant into rice, the phosphorylation state of the OsD14 protein is altered. Specifically, the number of rice tillers is regulated by mutating the 10th, 11th, 13th, and 15th amino acids of OsD14 from serine to alanine or aspartic acid.
This study demonstrated the ability to effectively regulate the number of rice tillers under different nitrogen conditions, thereby increasing rice yield. It also provided methods to increase the number of tillers under low nitrogen conditions or decrease the number of tillers under high nitrogen conditions, thus improving plant architecture.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of genetic breeding technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing rice with altered tiller number. Background Technology
[0002] Rice is one of the world's most important food crops, feeding more than half the world's population. Rice yield is of great significance to global food security. Rice tillering is an important agronomic trait and one of the key factors determining rice yield. Therefore, in-depth research into the molecular mechanisms regulating rice tillering and applying them to agricultural production will have significant practical implications for increasing rice yield.
[0003] Rice, as a model plant for monocotyledonous plant research, possesses unique advantages. Rice tillering, as a special form of branching, offers significant advantages in morphological and genetic studies, providing a crucial research model for understanding the mechanisms of branching in higher plants. Therefore, in-depth research into the molecular mechanisms of rice tillering is of great guiding significance for elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of plant branching.
[0004] Recently, strigolactones have been discovered as a novel plant hormone regulating branching, greatly advancing research into the mechanisms of branching development in higher plants. Rice, with its unique tillering branching system, plays a crucial role in studies of strigolactone regulation of branching development. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the research of strigolactone synthesis, metabolism, transport, and signal transduction, with the identification of a series of key genes. However, many unresolved issues remain regarding strigolactone synthesis, metabolism, and signal transduction.
[0005] OsD14 The gene originates from rice and belongs to the strigolactone receptor protein family. Its main function is to control rice plant architecture, including the number of tillers and plant height. In the strigolactone signaling pathway, OsD14 forms a complex with OsD3 and OsD53, inducing OsD53 to undergo ubiquitination and degradation, thus relieving the inhibition of downstream corresponding genes. OsD14 itself can also undergo ubiquitination and degradation. Whether it undergoes ubiquitination and degradation, as well as the regulation it receives, can affect strigolactone signal transduction to varying degrees, thereby affecting the number of tillers in rice. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a method for preparing rice with altered tiller number. The technical problem to be solved is not limited to the described technical subject matter; other technical subject matter not mentioned herein will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art through the following description.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0008] This invention provides a method for preparing rice with altered tiller number. The method includes introducing the coding gene of an OsD14 mutant into a target rice variety to obtain rice with altered tiller number. The tiller number of the altered rice variety is higher or lower than that of the target rice variety. The OsD14 mutant is a protein obtained by mutating serine to another amino acid at positions 10, 11, 13, and 15 of SEQ ID NO:1, while keeping the other amino acids of SEQ ID NO:1 unchanged.
[0009] In the above method, the other amino acid is alanine or aspartic acid.
[0010] In the above method, the nucleotide sequence of the encoding gene of the OsD14 mutant can be obtained by mutating nucleotides 28-30, 31-33, 37-39, and 43-45 of SEQ ID NO:2 to alanine codons, or by mutating nucleotides 28-30, 31-33, 37-39, and 43-45 of SEQ ID NO:2 to aspartic acid codons.
[0011] The present invention also provides a method for changing the number of tillers in rice, the method comprising introducing the coding gene of an OsD14 mutant into a target rice to change the number of tillers in the recipient rice, wherein the OsD14 mutant is a protein obtained by mutating serine to another amino acid at positions 10, 11, 13 and 15 of SEQ ID NO:1, while keeping the other amino acids of SEQ ID NO:1 unchanged.
[0012] In the above method, the nucleotide sequence of the encoding gene of the OsD14 mutant can be obtained by mutating nucleotides 28-30, 31-33, 37-39, and 43-45 of SEQ ID NO:2 to alanine codons, or by mutating nucleotides 28-30, 31-33, 37-39, and 43-45 of SEQ ID NO:2 to aspartic acid codons.
[0013] In the above method, the other amino acid is alanine or aspartic acid.
[0014] In the above method, when the codons for amino acids 10, 11, 13, and 15 of OsD14 are all mutated from serine to alanine, OsD14 exhibits a non-phosphorylated state, and the number of tillers in the recipient rice increases compared to before the mutation. When the codons for amino acids 10, 11, 13, and 15 of OsD14 are all mutated from serine to aspartic acid, OsD14 exhibits a phosphorylated state, and the number of tillers in the recipient rice decreases compared to before the mutation.
[0015] The present invention also provides a method for increasing the number of tillers in rice under low nitrogen conditions, the method comprising introducing the coding gene of an OsD14 mutant into a target rice to change the number of tillers in the recipient rice, wherein the OsD14 mutant is a protein obtained by mutating the 10th, 11th, 13th and 15th amino acids of SEQ ID NO:1 from serine to alanine, while keeping the other amino acids of SEQ ID NO:1 unchanged.
[0016] The low-nitrogen conditions mentioned above refer to the application of nitrogen fertilizer at a rate of 50 kg per hectare per line in the field of the transgenic base of the Institute of Crop Science, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shunyi District, Beijing.
[0017] The present invention also provides a method for reducing the number of tillers in rice under high nitrogen conditions, the method comprising introducing the coding gene of an OsD14 mutant into a target rice to change the number of tillers in the recipient rice, wherein the OsD14 mutant is a protein obtained by mutating the 10th, 11th, 13th and 15th amino acids of SEQ ID NO:1 from serine to aspartic amino acids, while keeping the other amino acids of SEQ ID NO:1 unchanged.
[0018] The high-nitrogen conditions mentioned above refer to the application of nitrogen fertilizer at a rate of 300 kg per hectare per line in the field of the transgenic base of the Institute of Crop Science, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shunyi District, Beijing.

The regulatory sequences, under compatible conditions, guide the coding sequence to express any of the aforementioned proteins in suitable host cells. The regulatory sequences include, but are not limited to, leader sequences, polyadenylated sequences, propeptide sequences, promoters, signal sequences, and transcription terminators. At a minimum, the regulatory sequences must include a promoter and termination signals for transcription and translation.

The regulatory sequence can also be a suitable transcription termination sequence, i.e., a sequence that can be recognized by the host cell and thus terminate transcription. The termination sequence is operatively attached to the 3' end of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein. Any terminator that can function in the selected host cell can be used in this invention. The regulatory sequence can also be a suitable leader sequence, i.e., an untranslated region of mRNA that is crucial for translation in the host cell. The leader sequence is operatively attached to the 5' end of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein. Any leader sequence that can function in the selected host cell can be used in this invention. The regulatory sequence can also be a signal peptide coding region, which encodes an amino acid sequence linked to the amino terminus of a protein that guides the encoded protein into the cellular secretion pathway. Signal peptide coding regions that can guide the expressed protein into the secretion pathway of the host cell can be used in this invention. Adding a regulatory sequence that can regulate protein expression according to the growth status of the host cell may also be necessary. Examples of regulatory sequences are those systems that respond to chemical or physical stimuli (including in the presence of regulatory compounds), thereby turning gene expression on or off. Other examples of regulatory sequences are those that enable gene amplification.
[0045] In the aforementioned biological materials, the carrier may be a plasmid, a granule, a bacteriophage, or a viral vector.
[0046] In the above-mentioned biological materials, the microorganisms may be yeast, bacteria, algae or fungi, such as Agrobacterium.
[0047] Among the aforementioned biological materials, the transgenic plant cell lines do not include propagation materials.
[0048] This invention demonstrates through experiments that whether OsD14 undergoes ubiquitination degradation is related to its phosphorylation state. Utilizing the phosphorylation state of OsD14 to regulate the number of rice tillers and improve plant architecture, thereby increasing rice yield, has broad application prospects.

[0064] Example 1: Analysis of phosphorylation sites of OsD14 protein in rice
[0065] In hormone signal transduction pathways, signal termination is crucial for regulating the duration and intensity of signal transduction. In rice, D14 senses the interaction between strigolactone molecules and D3, forming the D14-D3-D53 complex, which promotes the degradation of D53 and activates the strigolactone signaling pathway. However, the inactivation mechanism of strigolactone signal sensing in rice remains unclear. Previous work in this study found that strigolactone-induced D14-GFP formation depends on 26S ubiquitination-proteasome ubiquitination and degradation. However, the regulatory mechanisms of D14 ubiquitination and degradation are still unclear.
[0066] Experimental methods: To identify the D14 phosphorylation site, immunoprecipitation was performed on the site. Act:D14-GFP / D14 D14-GFP protein was enriched in callus induced by transgenic seeds.

[0084] 2. Obtaining overexpression plants
[0085] (1) Transformation
[0086] use d14 The mutant serves as a rice acceptor, transforming the rice seedlings... d14 After removing the husk from the mutant seeds, they were surface-sterilized with 70% (v / v) ethanol for 1 min, followed by vortex washing with 2.5% (w / v) sodium hypochlorite for 45 min, and then rinsed three times with sterile water. The seeds were then sown on NB solid medium and incubated at 28ºC in the dark for two weeks. Once callus tissue grew from the mature embryo scutellaria, it was excised and subcultured on fresh NB solid medium, transferred every 7 days. After 3-4 subcultures, Agrobacterium infection could be performed.
[0087] The composition of 1 L LB solid culture medium is: Tryptone 10 g, Yeast Extract 5 g, NaCl 10 g, and agar 15 g.
[0088] The composition of 1 L LB liquid culture medium is: Tryptone 10 g, Yeast Extract 5 g, NaCl 10 g.

Act:D14-GFP Vector, AHLG- Act:D14 4SA -GFP、 AHLG- Act:D14 4SD -GFP The cells were transformed into Agrobacterium EHA105 strain by high voltage electroporation and plated on LB solid medium containing 50 mg / L kanamycin and 25 mg / L rifampin for 2-3 days. For each transformation, 4-5 single colonies were picked and inoculated into 7 mL of LB liquid medium containing kanamycin and 25 mg / L rifampin. The cells were then incubated overnight at 28ºC and 250 rpm. The cells were centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 5 min at room temperature and resuspended in rice transformation solution for transformation of rice callus tissue.

[0092] Collect the callus tissue in good condition obtained in step (1), add an appropriate amount of transformation solution until the bacterial solution completely submerges the callus tissue, place at room temperature for 20 min, shaking occasionally during the period, then take out the transformed callus tissue, absorb the excess bacterial solution with sterile filter paper, and incubate in a 23ºC incubator in the dark for 2-3 days to obtain transgenic callus tissue.
[0093] (3) Differentiation
[0094] The rice callus obtained in step (2) was transferred to NB solid selection medium containing hygromycin and cultured at 28ºC in the dark for 7-10 days. The culture was then subcultured into a new NB solid selection medium containing hygromycin for 3-4 rounds of hygromycin selection. The callus in good condition was propagated to differentiation medium for differentiation and regeneration, and seedlings were cultured at 28ºC under light for about one month. The resulting seedlings were then transferred to rooting medium and cultured for about 4 weeks to promote rooting and seedling growth. After about one month of growth in a greenhouse, the seedlings were transplanted to the field.

[0096] The specific methods are as follows: (1) Leaves were taken from individual rice plants, and rice genomic DNA was extracted using the CTAB method. Using the extracted DNA as a template, PCR amplification was performed using AHLG-F and D14-570-R identification primers. The PCR products were sent to Beijing Ruiboxingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for Sanger sequencing. After obtaining the sequencing results, the sequences were compared.

[0132] Example 3: Regulating the application of rice by changing the phosphorylation state of D14
[0133] To analyze the regulatory role of OsD14 phosphorylation in the low-nitrogen response, the effects of different nitrogen contents on the number of rice tillers were investigated. The experiment was repeated three times, with each repetition as follows:
[0134] 1. Experimental Grouping
[0135] High-nitrogen group (HN): transgenic homozygous plants Act:D14-GFP / d14#1 , Act:D14 4SA -GFP / d14#1 and Act:D14 4SD -GFP / d14#1In a field planted at the transgenic base of the Institute of Crop Science, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shunyi District, Beijing, 300 kg of nitrogen fertilizer was applied per hectare per line, with 24 plants planted at a spacing of 17 cm between plants and rows. The number of tillers was counted according to the aforementioned method.
[0136] Medium nitrogen group (MN): The difference between this group and the high nitrogen group (HN) is that the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied is 150 kg per hectare, and the rest of the operation is the same as the high nitrogen group (HN).
[0137] Low nitrogen group (LN): The difference between this group and the high nitrogen group (HN) is that the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied is 50 kg per hectare, and the rest of the operation is the same as the high nitrogen group (HN).
[0138] 2. Phosphorylation and protein levels of OsD14 under different nitrogen levels
[0139] Experimental Methods: To identify the phosphorylation and protein levels of the D14 phosphorylation site under different nitrogen conditions, the transgenic rice seedlings were grown in a rice incubator (MLR-351H, SANYO, Japan) under 28ºC light for 16 h followed by 25ºC in darkness for 8 h, with a light intensity of 150-200 μM m⁻² s⁻¹ and a humidity of 70%. After one week of cultivation in Kimura B nutrient solution, the seedlings were further cultured for 7-10 days in culture solutions with different nitrogen concentrations.
[0140] Table 1. Formula for Kimura B Nutrient Solution
[0141]
[0142] Note: When preparing a 20 mM FeSO4-EDTA solution, add 5.57 g FeSO4·7H2O and 7.45 g Na2-EDTA to 800 mL of deionized water, and heat in a 70°C oven (or water bath) for 1-2 days, stirring manually until completely dissolved. (NH4)6Mo7O 24 • 4H₂O can be replaced with Na₂MoO₄·2H₂O (0.128 mg / L). The pH of the rice nutrient solution should be between 5.5 and 6.0, and the nutrient solution needs to be changed every 2 days. When preparing culture solutions with different nitrogen concentrations, first prepare Kimura nutrient solution without nitrogen source. Then, replace ammonium ions ((NH₄)₂SO₄) and nitrate ions (KNO₃, Ca(NO₃)₂) with 1 M NH₄NO₃, and add the appropriate volume of NH₄NO₃ as needed to adjust the nitrogen concentration. Finally, add 0.365 mM CaCl₂ to replenish calcium ions. A final concentration of 0.15 mM NH₄NO₃ is a low-nitrogen hydroponic solution, and a final concentration of 2.5 mM NH₄NO₃ is a high-nitrogen culture solution.
[0143] Stem base tissue (1 cm) of seedlings from different materials was collected, and D14-GFP protein was enriched by immunoprecipitation. Total protein was extracted using IP protein extraction buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 10% (v / v) glycerol, 0.5% Nonidet P-40, 1x Roche cOmplete™ Protease Inhibitor Cocktail, 1 mM PMSF, 50 μM MG132, and a phosphatase inhibitor). Then, 25 μL of GFP-Trap beads were added to 1 mL of supernatant and incubated gently by rotation at 4°C for 2 hours. The beads were then washed 3–5 times with IP washing buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 10% (v / v) glycerol, 0.1% Nonidet P-40, 1x Roche cOmplete™ Protease Inhibitor Cocktail, 1 mM PMSF, 50 μM MG132, and a phosphatase inhibitor). Elute with 50 μL SDS-PAGE buffer, then perform SDS-PAGE and Western Blot as described above.
[0144] Experimental results show that under low nitrogen conditions, the phosphorylation level of OsD14 is enhanced. Figure 7 Meanwhile, the protein abundance of D14-GFP was significantly increased. Figure 8 This indicates that low nitrogen levels trigger the phosphorylation of OsD14, inhibiting its ubiquitination and degradation.
[0145] 3. Count the number of tillers
[0146] The number of rice tillers was counted according to the method described in Example 2, "6. Counting the number of tillers of homozygous positive plants".
[0147] The results showed that under low nitrogen conditions, the number of tillers in rice was significantly reduced ( Figure 9 This indicates that low-nitrogen conditions trigger D14 phosphorylation, stabilize the D14 protein, thereby enhancing SL sensing and inhibiting tiller development. Therefore, the response to low-nitrogen conditions can be regulated by modulating the phosphorylation level of OsD14. Simultaneously, D14... 4SA -GFP overexpression led to an increase in tiller number under low nitrogen conditions, indicating that the tiller number in rice under low nitrogen conditions can be regulated by altering the phosphorylation status of D14. Meanwhile, Figure 9 It also indicates that D14 4SD-GFP leads to a decrease in tiller number under high nitrogen conditions, further demonstrating the feasibility of improving rice tiller number by altering the phosphorylation status of the strigolactone receptor OsD14.
