Ctb1 is one of the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for cold tolerance in the introgression on chromosome 4 of rice.

Annotated Information

Function

Low temperatures during the booting stage reduce rice yields by causing cold-induced male sterility[1]. Ctb1 is a QTL for cold tolerance, which is located in the introgression on chromosome 4[2]. Researches mapped Ctb1 to a 17-kb region containing two genes that encode an F-box protein and a ser/thr protein kinase. Both genes were cloned from a cold-tolerant variety, Norin-PL8, and introduced into a cold-sensitive variety, Hokkai241, and a cold-sensitive line, BT4-74-8. The cold tolerance of T2 and T3 progenies was assessed by measuring the degree of spikelet fertility in plants treated with cool water irrigation (19◦C, 25 cm) or cool air (12◦C, 4 days).


Table. 1 Cold tolerance, heading date and anther length of the near-isogenic lines(NILs) and parental varieties (from reference [2]).

Circles represent the NILs: open circles represent the NILs without either Ctb-1or Ctb-2, and closed circles represent the NILs with Ctb-1and/or Ctb-2. Open and closed triangles represent Kirara397 and Norin-PL8, respectively (from reference [2]).


The results indicated that the F-box protein gene confers cold tolerance. Cold tolerance is associated with greater anther length, which is one of major factors in cold tolerance at the booting stage. Ctb-1 expressed cold tolerance by producing a large anther. The transgenic plants had longer anthers than non-transformed controls. The F-box protein encoded by Ctb1 interact with a subunit of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, Skp1, suggesting that an ubiquitin–proteasome pathway is involved in cold tolerance at the booting stage[1].

Expression

(a) Expression of genes encoding F-box protein (FB) and a ser/thr protein kinase(PK) in mature leaves (L) and young panicles (YP) from a cold sensitive variety Kirara397 (K) and a cold-tolerant variety Norin-PL8 (N).

Black rectangles, black triangles, and open triangles indicate putative exons, initiation codons, and stop codons, respectively (from reference [1]).


Sequence analyses indicated no polymorphism between Norin-PL8 and Kirara397 in the coding regions but several polymorphisms (mostly single nucleotide polymorphisms) in the 5’ upstream regions of both F-box protein (FB) and a ser/thr protein kinase(PK). Comparing the expression of the genes in Norin-PL8 and Kirara397 by RT-PCR analysis, PK was expressed in mature leaves and young panicles. By contrast, FB was expressed preferentially in young panicles, suggesting that FB was a more likely candidate to be Ctb1. No differences were observed in expression levels between Norin-PL8 and Kirara397[1].

Evolution

K.Saito et al[2] concluded that there are at least two QTLs for cold tolerance in the introgression on chromosome 4 of rice, and tentatively designated as Ctb-1 and Ctb-2.


Knowledge Extension

Rice is a staple crop cultivated worldwide. However, since it is a cold-sensitive plant that evolved in tropical and subtropical areas, rice yields are greatly reduced under low temperature conditions. One of the factors reducing rice yields is cold-induced male sterility (CIMS). In CIMS, the growth stage that is sensitive to cold is the booting stage, especially the young microspore stage just after meiosis[3]. Low temperatures at the young microspore stage cause the degeneration of microspores and hypertrophy of tapetal cells[4].
