Abstract
KEY MESSAGE: 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.Entities:
