EH7/Ghd7 interacts with DTH8, and regulates heading date by controlling the expression of Ehd1 in rice. Heading date, or flowering time, an important agronomic trait, influences regional adaptability and yield of crops. Many genes related to heading date in rice have been identified, and a preliminary regulatory network has been established, but the relationships between proteins involved are poorly understood. We identified a flowering suppressor EH7 (Early heading 7) that represses flowering under long-day (LD) conditions. The eh7 allele caused earlier heading, shorter plant height and less grain per main panicle than did the wild type (WT), but the tiller number and 1000-grain weight were not significantly affected under natural long-day conditions. Biochemical assays showed that EH7 interacts with DTH8. Quantitative PCR showed that EH7 inhibited heading date by downregulating the expression of Ehd1, Hd3a and RFT1. We propose that EH7 interacts with DTH8 to control flowering time by regulating the expression of Ehd1, Hd3a and RFT1.

Plants exhibit photoperiod sensitivity (PS), which influences flowering time in response to changes in daylength, allowing cereal crops to optimise seed production at different latitudes. Rice is a facultative short-day (SD) plant, flowering early under SD and late under long-day (LD) conditions. This study identifies the rice (Oryza sativa) Zinc-finger Homeodomain 1 (OsZHD1) as a new photoperiod regulator that modulates flowering time in response to daylength.

Rice stripe mosaic virus (RSMV) is the sole cytoplasmic rhabdovirus documented in naturally infected rice plants. It encodes P6, which induces delayed heading and reduces yield in infected rice plants. P6 of RSMV interacts with OsHAPL1, facilitating the interaction between OsHAPL1 and DTH8, resulting in delayed rice heading under long day conditions.

Photoperiodic flowering is one of the most important pathways to govern flowering in rice (Oryza sativa), in which Heading date 1 (Hd1), an ortholog of the Arabidopsis CONSTANS gene, encodes a pivotal regulator. Hd1 promotes flowering under short-day conditions (SD) but represses flowering under long-day conditions (LD) by regulating the expression of Heading date 3a (Hd3a), the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) ortholog in rice. However, the molecular mechanism of how Hd1 changes its regulatory activity in response to day length remains largely unknown.

Heading date is an important agronomic trait related to crop yield. Many genes related to heading date have already been identified in rice (Oryza sativa), and a complicated, preliminary regulatory genetic network has also already been established, but the protein regulatory network is poorly understood. We have identified a novel heading date regulator, Heme Activator Protein like 1 (OsHAPL1), which inhibits flowering under long-day conditions.
