Plant Architecture Plant architecture is referred to as the three
dimensional organization of the plant.
Crop plants with desirable architecture are able to produce much higher grain yields.
In case of the “Green Revolution” in which grain yields have been significantly increased by growing lodging-resistant semi- dwarf varieties of wheat and rice.

RICE PLANT
Rice is an annual grass with round, hollow and jointed stems (culms) that bear panicles.
Generally, rice plant growth is divided into three stages:
1. Vegetative stage2. Reproductive3. Grain filling stage
6
Rice plant architecture• Rice is an ideal system for studying plant architecture
of cereal crops.
• Rice plant architecture, a collection of the important agronomic traits that determine its grain production, is mainly affected by factors including
1. Tillering 2. Plant Height 3. Panicle Morphology
7
Tillering
Rice tillering occurs in a two-stage process: the formation of an axillary bud at each leaf axil and its subsequent outgrowth.
8
Genes Controlling Tillering
• MONOCULM 1 (MOC1)• LAX PANICLE (LAX 1)
Genes involved in strigolactone biosynthesis and signalling

Genes Involved In Tillering
10
• Neither the extremely spreading nor the compact plant type is beneficial to rice grain production.
Genes involved in regulating the tiller angle in rice:• LAZY1 (LA1) • TAC1 (Tiller Angle Control 1)• PROG1 (PROSTRATE GROWTH1 )
Tiller Angle
11
LAZY1 (LA1)
Negative regulator in polar auxin transport (PAT).
Mutations of LA1 enhance PAT greatly and alter the endogenous IAA distribution in shoots, leading to the tiller-spreading phenotype of rice plants.
It regulates the lateral organ angle and mediates branching and leaf formation (Li et al., 2007).
12
TAC1 (Tiller Angle Control 1)• TAC1, positive regulator of rice tiller angle.
Mutation in TAC1 • Sharp upward asymmetrical growth of the base of
the culm.• Compact plant architecture with erect tillers (Yu et
al., 2007).
13
PROSTRATE GROWTH1 (PROG1)
• Prostrate growth habit to erect tiller growth of rice.
• Transcription factor.
• Expression site: unelongated basal internodes of the culm.
• Mutation in PROG1 leads to a phenotype of significantly less vertical tiller angle.
14
• Tiller has the potential to produce a panicle by transitioning from a vegetative SAM(shoot apical meristem) into a reproductive SAM.
• Tillers that produce panicles are termed effective tillers, and they contribute to the grain yield.
Panicle Morphology
15
• Rice panicle develops into three types of axillary meristems,
Rachis-branch Meristems, Lateral Spikelet Meristems Terminal Spikelet Meristems.
• The initiation and outgrowth of these meristems determines rice panicle morphology.
16
Major Steps In The Rice Panicle Development
(A) Formation of the first bract primordium indicating the transition from the vegetative phase to reproductive phase;
(B) Formation of the primordia of the primary branches(PB) from the base of bracts;
(C) Formation of the primordia of the secondary branches(SB) from the base of each PB primordium;
(D) Formation of the terminal and lateral spikelet meristem primordia on the rachis-branches (primary and/or secondary branches) and differentiation of the spikelet primordia

Plant Height
Rice stem elongation starts at the beginning of panicle initiation and is mainly ascribed to the rapid elongation of cells in the top 4–6 internodes.
Gibberellins(GA) and Brassinosteroids(BR) have been revealed to play major roles in modulating rice plant height.

CASE STUDY
22
INTRODUCTIONPlant architecture, a complex of the important
agronomic traits that determine grain yield, is a primary target of artificial selection of rice domestication and improvement.
Genetic identification and functional analysis of the PLANT ARCHITECTURE AND YIELD 1 (PAY1) gene in rice.
23
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Plant materials :• YIL55 (a wild rice introgression line )• The PAY1 mutant
YIL55 mutagenized with EMS to generate a library for genetic screening of mutants with altered plant architecture.
They identified a mutant with greatly changed plant architecture, referred to as PLANT ARCHITECTURE AND YIELD 1 (PAY1).
24
Phenotype of wild-type (YIL55) and PAY1 mutant.
(a) Introgression line YIL55 and the PAY1 mutant at maturity stage.(b) Main panicle of YIL55 and PAY1 mutant.(c) Stem structure of YIL55 and PAY1 mutant. (d) Cross-sections of the fifth internode(e) The diameter of the fifth internode between YIL55 and PAY1 mutant. (f) Comparison of plant height, number of panicles per plant, grain number per
panicle and grain yield per plant between YIL55 and PAY1 mutant plants.
25
Cloning and Characterization of PAY1
• The F1 plants from the cross between PAY1 and YIL55 showed a similar phenotype to the PAY1 mutant .
• F2 plants, showed a segregation rate of the PAY1 mutant and YIL55 plants fitting a 3:1 ratio.
• These results indicated that the PAY1 mutant phenotype was controlled by a single dominant gene.
26
CLONING
• F2 populations were generated from the cross between the PAY1 mutant and Nipponbare
• PAY1 mapped between the single sequence repeat markers RM339 and RM223 on the long arm of chromosome 8.
27
Molecular identification of PAY1
(a) PAY1 was mapped in the interval of RM339 and RM223 on the long arm of chromosome 8.
(b) PAY1 was delimited to a 51-kb region between the sp5 and sp7 markers.(c) Annotation of the 51-kb region harboring PAY1 on Nipponbare BAC AP004691.(d) PAY1 structure and the mutation site in PAY1 mutant
28
Genetic Confirmation
• To verify altered plant architecture caused by the single nucleotide change in the LOC_ Os08g31470 gene.
• They generated transgenic YIL55 plants with overexpression of cDNA of the PAY1 mutant
• Real-time quantitative PCR (RT- qPCR) analysis showed that the expression levels of PAY1 were much higher in transgenic than in control plants.
29
Experimental Procedure• The entire coding sequence of PAY1 cDNA , a 1773-bp
fragment, was inserted into the vector pCAMBIA1301 driven by the maize Ubiquitin promoter to form the over expression construct pOE.
• The construct was introduced to Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 and subsequently transferred into YIL55.
• There were 18 independent transgenic lines harvested, and two lines (pOE6 and pOE8) were used for phenotypic evaluation.

The PAY1 mutant shows reduced polar auxin transport(PAT) activity
PAT plays a key role in the regulation of many aspects of plant growth and development.
The basipetal and acropetal indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) transport in etiolated coleoptiles of wild-type and PAY1 plants were compared.

PAY1 Used For High-yield Breeding
To evaluate the PAY1 potential application for optimizing rice plant architecture and increasing grain yields

• BC3F3 generation plants were used for phenotype analysis.

CContd…….
39
• The PAY1 mutant showed characteristics of ideal plant
architecture compared with the wild-type YIL55 via affecting PAT activity and altering endogenous indole-3-acetic acid distribution.
• The NILs with Teqing genetic background demonstrated that PAY1 could shape better plant architecture and enhance grain yield of rice.
• PAY1 is an important dominant regulator of rice plant architecture and would be useful for rice genetic improvement and breeding of new varieties with increased grain yield, thus contributing to global food security.
CONCLUSION
40
SUMMARYRice is one of the most important staples and feeds more than half of the world’s population.
The ability to produce more food in the same acreage is crucial to feeding an increasing world population, and therefore rice attracts tremendous attention in crop improvement.
Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying rice plant architecture will provide a solid basis for modifying the plant and in turn help to increase the yield.
