The use of male sterile lines (MSLs) of rice is essential for heterosis utilization. However, MSLs have a common defect in the elongation of the uppermost internode, eventually leading to incomplete panicle exsertion, blocking pollination, and reducing the hybrid rice seed yield. Previously, the elongated uppermost internode 1 (EUI1) was identified as an active gibberellin-deactivating enzyme that plays a key role in panicle exsertion from the flag leaf sheath in rice (Oryza sativa L.). We used an adenine base editor to edit EUI1 and obtained two types of homozygous transgenic plants (eui1-1 and eui1-2). The transcription and translation levels of EUI1 in the two mutants were significantly lower than in the wild type, as was the oxidation activity of EUI1 to active gibberellins (GAs), which also decreased. The contents of the plant hormones GA1, GA3, and GA4 in eui1-1 (1.64, 1.55, and 0.92 ng/g) and eui1-2 (0.85, 0.64, and 0.65 ng/g) panicles were significantly higher than the wild type (0.70, 0.57, and 0.42 ng/g). The uppermost internode lengths of the mutant were 26.5 and 23.6 cm, which were significantly longer than that of the wild type (18.0 cm), and the cell lengths of the mutant were 161.10 and 157.19 μm, which were longer than that of the wild type (89.28 μm). Our results indicate that the adenine base editing system could increase the content of endogenous bioactive GAs in young panicles by fine-tuning EUI1 activity, reduce the defect of panicle enclosure in MSLs and increase the yield of hybrid rice seed production. |
