Article Abstract
Ghd7 is a central regulator to multiple growth and development processes in rice. While it is not clear how Ghd7 is regulated by upstream factors. To identify its upstream regulator, the truncated Ghd7 promoter fragments were used to screen cis elements binding to rice total nuclear proteins. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays screened one truncated fragment f3 binding to the proteins. Subsequently, the fragment f3 was employed to screen a yeast one-hybrid library, and a transcription factor OsIAA23 was screened as a direct upstream regulator of Ghd7. Dual-luciferase transient assay demonstrated the transcriptional repression effect of OsIAA23 on the activity of Ghd7, and the location of the cis elements binding to OsIAA23 in the region 1264 to 1255 bp upstream of ATG. Genetic analysis between the wild type Ghd7-OsIAA23 and single/double mutants further verified that OsIAA23 downregulated Ghd7 expression and led to a delayed heading under long day conditions. Moreover, natural variations in fragment f3 were associated with heading and geographic distribution in rice. This study sheds light on the direct regulatory mechanism of OsIAA23 on Ghd7, which enriches the understanding of the Ghd7 involved flowering regulatory network in rice.

The () gene integrates red light signals and circadian rhythms to control floral repression under long-day conditions in rice. CRISPR/Cas9 systems were employed to create a series of deletion mutant lines in the upstream regions of , covering a 65-kb genomic region from its transcription start site (TSS). These deletions ranged from 2 to 25 kb in size.

Hd1 alone constantly promotes heading both under LD and SD conditions in rice. But it suppresses heading in the presence of Ghd7 under LD conditions. It is not clear how Ghd7 makes Hd1 function conversion.

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.

Close coordination of carbon and nitrogen (C/N) metabolism is necessary to maintain optimal growth and development of plants and other cellular organisms. The central regulator for achieving high-yield and quality synergy in rice through regulating the dynamic C/N balance has seldom been reported. Here, the novel function of Grain number, plant height, and heading date7 (Ghd7) gene are reported as both a negative regulator of grain protein content and a positive regulator of rice grain quality (including appearance quality and eating quality).

The gene in rice plays a crucial role in determining heading date, plant height, and grain yield. However, the variations in and their functional implications across different rice accessions are not fully understood. Based on the release of a large amount of rice genome data in recent years, we investigated through pan-genome analysis of 372 diverse rice varieties and figured out the structural variations (SVs) in the locus.
