Abstract:In this study, we have generated more than 12,000 activation-tagged mutants in a high-yielding indica rice variety, 'BPT 5204', employing maize Ac/Ds system. Different transgenic plants obtained were analysed based on expression patterns of green fluorescence protein (GFP), red fluorescence protein (RFP), herbicide (Basta) tolerance and molecular analyses. T1 seeds of pSQ5 and pSQ5-bar transgenics, when germinated separately on hygromycin (50 mg/L) and phosphinothricin (5 mg/L) containing medium, revealed a segregation of 3 tolerant : 1 susceptible plants. The germinal transposition frequency of Ds element in different T2 progeny of rice plants was found to be about 18.0%. Different stable tagged mutants exhibited marked increases in plant height, number of tillers, leaf size, panicle size, seed size and number of grains per plant. The overall results indicate that the genes associated with these traits are upregulated by the enhancer element in activation-tagged mutants. As such, the various tagged mutant lines appear promising and serve as a valuable genetic resource for identification of key genes determining different agronomic traits of rice.
Keywords:4X enhancer  Ac/Ds system  activation tagging  agronomic traits  number of grains per plant  tagged mutants
