Abstract

Leaf color and photosynthesis are important factors for rice growth and development. Hence, improving the photosynthetic rate is an effective approach for increasing rice yield. We isolated a gene, chlorophyllide-a oxygenase 1 (OsCAO1), which characterized a rice near-isogenic line named fgl (faded green leaf). Compared with its recurrent parent, Zhefu 802 (ZF802, an early-season indica rice variety), fgl had a faded green leaf color and lower chlorophyll (Chl) content, especially Chl b content. Furthermore, genetic and physiological analysis confirmed that leaf color was affected by the novel allele OsCAO1, which had a two-base pair deletion in the ninth exon. Subsequently, we over-expressed the OsCAO1 gene in ZF802. Interestingly, while OsCAO1 over-expression (OX) increased Chl b synthesis, the OX plants had a higher photosynthetic rate and heavier 1000-grain weight than ZF802. In conclusion, the novel allele OsCAO1 was involved in the positive regulation of leaf color, photosynthetic rate and rice yield.
