Abstract

Tiller number is a crucial determinant that significantly influences the productivity and reproductive capacity of forage. The regeneration potential, biomass production, and seed yield of perennial forage species are highly reliant on the development of tillering. Strigolactones (SLs) are recently discovered carotenoid-derived phytohormones that play a crucial role in the regulation of tillering in annual crops. However, the modulation of tiller growth in perennial forage by SLs remains insufficiently investigated. In this study, we identified two alleles of the SLs biosynthesis gene, DgCCD7A and DgCCD7D, which encode CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 7 (CCD7), from two distinct subspecies of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata) exhibiting contrasting tillering phenotype and SLs content. The functionality of the DgCCD7A allele derived from high-tillering phenotypic orchardgrass was found to be diminished compared to that of DgCCD7D from the low-tillering type in rescuing the increased branching phenotype of CCD7-defective mutants in Arabidopsis and rice (Oryza sativa). Notably, the introduction of DgCCD7A in rice resulted in an increase in tiller number without significantly compromising grain yield. Moreover, we demonstrated that the L309P variation in DgCCD7A is a rare natural variant exclusively found in orchardgrass. Our findings revealed that DgCCD7A, a rare favorable natural variation of CCD7 in orchardgrass, holds significant potential for breeding application in improving the plant architecture of perennial forage and crops.

期刊介绍: Publishing the best original research papers in all key areas of modern plant biology from the world"s leading laboratories, The Plant Journal provides a dynamic forum for this ever growing international research community. Plant science research is now at the forefront of research in the biological sciences, with breakthroughs in our understanding of fundamental processes in plants matching those in other organisms. The impact of molecular genetics and the availability of model and crop species can be seen in all aspects of plant biology. For publication in The Plant Journal the research must provide a highly significant new contribution to our understanding of plants and be of general interest to the plant science community.
