 Highlights 

1. The phenotype of dwarf4 is due to the abnormal intersegmental elongation and reduced gibberellin synthesis.

2. The SiDWARF4 encodes the CPS enzyme involved in GA biosynthesis in foxtail millet.

摘要  

赤霉素在植物生长发育中起着重要作用。作物矮化主要与赤霉素合成或信号转导途径的突变有关。然而,对作物中与赤霉素合成和调控有关的基因知之甚少。本研究分离到一株极端矮化的然矮杆突变体dwarf4。基于BSA-seq,证实了由SiDWARF4编码的古巴焦磷酸合成酶CPS)在谷子GA生物合成过程中催化了牻牛儿基牻牛儿基焦磷酸GGPP)向古巴焦磷酸CPP)的转化。在dwarf4中,CPS酶底物GGPP水平升高,导致GAs含量降低。外源GA3处理可以恢复dwarf4的异常表型。SiDWARF4敲除系表型与dwarf4一致。与对照Ci846相比,GGPP含量升高,GAs含量降低,与dwarf4的结果一致。研究结果对改良谷子株型和提高谷子种植密度具有一定的指导意义。
