Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Here, we show that mutation of the rice (Oryza sativa) gene TONGARI-BOUSHI1 (TOB1) results in pleiotropic phenotypes in spikelets, such as the formation of a cone-shaped organ instead of the lemma or palea, the development of two florets in a spikelet, or premature termination of the floret meristem, in addition to reduced growth of the lemma or palea and elongation of the awn.
  • No TOB1 expression is detected in the meristem, so TOB1 may act non-cell autonomously to maintain proper meristem organization and is therefore likely to play an important role in rice spikelet development.
  • TOB1 encodes a YABBY protein, which is closely related to FILAMENTOUS FLOWER in Arabidopsis thaliana, and is expressed in the lateral organ primordia without any patterns of polarization.
  • RNAi knockdown of TOB2 or TOB3 in the TOB1 mutant caused abnormal spikelet development.
  • Furthermore, simultaneous knockdown of both TOB2 and TOB3 in TOB1 affected not only spikelet, but also inflorescence development.
