Overview

Genetic complementation shows increased grain chalkiness in rice, suggesting role of OsSUT2 in starch synthesis and agronomic traits.

Key Points

  • This research aims to clarify the role of OsSUT2 in the formation of chalkiness in rice grains.
  • Used rice cultivar TP309 and created ossut2 homozygous mutants through CRISPR/Cas9.
  • Conducted genetic complementation and phenotypic identification studies on the mutants.
  • Performed transcriptome sequencing and analyzed agronomic traits related to rice chalkiness.
  • Loss of OsSUT2 function increased grain chalkiness and affected agronomic traits.
  • Accumulation of carbon assimilates was observed in leaves of the mutants.
  • The sugar transport and starch synthesis pathways were disrupted in grains.
