This gene is originally derived from the Chinese cultivar Dee-Geo-Woo-Gen(DGWG). It encodes an oxidase enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of gibberellin, which is a plant growth hormone. The rice genome carries at least two GA20ox genes (GA20ox-1 and GA20ox-2).SD1 corresponds to GA20ox-2. Mutation of SD1 will cause a semi-dwarf phenotype of rice without seed yield being affected <ref name="ref1" />. It is not surprising that a rice semidwarfing gene encodes GA20-ox since successful production of semidwarf plants using antisense or overexpressed GA20-ox genes has been reported in Arabidopsis, Solanum dulcamara, potato, and lettuce <ref name="ref3" />.

The wheat green-revolution gene Rht (for ‘reduced height’)<ref name="ref4" /> is a gain-of-function allele caused by a mutation in a transcription factor that is associated with the gibberellin signalling pathway. As wheat has a hexaploid genome, it does not contain recessive alleles such as sd1 in rice that might otherwise be used to produce a semi-dwarf strain of wheat. Although the genetic and biochemical functions of the rice SD1 and wheat RHT proteins are completely different (that is, recessive versus dominant, loss-of-function versus gain-offunction events, enzyme versus transcription factor, respectively), the products of both genes are linked with gibberellin malfunction <ref name="ref1" />.

In rice, ''Slr1'' gene encodes the DELLA protein. Three semi-dominant dwarf mutants (''Slr1-d1'', ''Slr1-d2'' and ''Slr1-d3'') associated with this gene have been identified, which were caused by gain-of-function mutations in the N-terminal region of SLR1. These three mutants are responsive to GA at a reduced rate, with later SLRl degradation, and showing reduced interaction activity with GID1 (GA receptor) comparing with wild type rice <ref name="ref6" />.

The rice semidwarf-1 (sd1) gene is well known as the "green revolution gene" and controls the plant height of rice.

Annotated Information

Function

Semidwarf VS. normal-type rice plants at ripening (from reference [1]).

This gene is originally derived from the Chinese cultivar Dee-Geo-Woo-Gen (DGWG). It encodes an oxidase enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of gibberellin, which is a plant growth hormone. The rice genome carries at least two GA20ox genes (GA20ox-1 and GA20ox-2). SD1 corresponds to GA20ox-2. Mutation of SD1 will cause a semi-dwarf phenotype of rice without seed yield being affected [2]. It is not surprising that a rice semidwarfing gene encodes GA20-ox since successful production of semidwarf plants using antisense or overexpressed GA20-ox genes has been reported in Arabidopsis, Solanum dulcamara, potato, and lettuce [1].

It is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of gibberellin that catalyses the three steps GA53->GA44->GA19->GA20. Impaired GA 20-oxidase activity will cause elevated content of GA53, and reduced amount of G20[1]. However, there is slight difference between different strains. The extent of GA1 is lower in Doongara (semi-dwarf rice strain) when compared with Kyeema (tall), while there is no significant difference between Calrose76 (semi-dwarf rice strain) and Calrose (tall). Calrose76 has lower contents of GA44 and of GA19 than Calrose, while there is no significant difference between Doongara (semi-dwarf rice strain) and Kyeema (tall) [1].

GO assignment(s): GO:0005506, GO:0016216, GO:0017000

Mutation

'Dee-Geo-Woo-Gen' (semi-dwarf rice strain): A 383-base-pair deletion from the genome (A 280-bp deletion within the coding region), which induces a frameshift that creates a stop codon in SD1, may be related with the semi-dwarf phenotype [2][3].

Calrose76 (semi-dwarf rice strain): The DNA sequence of Calrose76 is identical to Calrose (tall) except for a C to T transition at position 798 that resulted in a change of the predicted amino acid leucine (Leu-266) in Calrose to phenylalanine in Calrose76 [3].

It has been found that introgression of a chromosomal block containing the SD1 allele from tropical japonica is associated with a change in growth patterns in BHA1 (one weedy rice population) [4].

Expression

This gene is strongly expressed in the leaf blade, stem and unopened flower, whereas GA20ox-1 is predominantly expressed in the unopened flower [2].

Among the DGWG-type sd-1 mutants, IR24 and Habataki have little transcript of this gene, while Milyang 23 expresses a normal or greater amount of truncated transcript. No significant difference is observed between Calrose and its single-nucleotide-substitution mutant Calrose 76 [1].

Analysis of the tissue- and stage-specificity of transcription of sd1 in Nipponbare revealed that this gene was expressed within 48 hr after sowing, as well as in 10-day-old plants, 30-day-old leaves, and flowering panicles; no transcription is detected in 24-hr-old seedlings or in 14-day-old roots. Transcript accumulates predominantly in adult leaves [1].

Evolution

This gene is conserved in Arabidopsis (47% identity) and pea (50% identity). GA20ox-2 shows 47.8% identity to GA20ox-1 in rice. There are at least three GA20-ox genes in Arabidopsis [2][3].

Knowledge Extension

Gibberellin signalling pathway (from reference [5]).

Except sd1, another ‘green revolution’ gene named Rht1, which encodes a GA signal suppressor DELLA protein. The deletion in the N-terminal region of the native RHT1 constitutively suppresses GA signaling, consequently resulting in a dominant semi-dwarf phenotype [6]. Both sd1 and Rht1 are associated with GA pathway, indicating the importance of GA in the regulation of developmental processes and making it a prime target for improving crop yield [5].

The wheat green-revolution gene Rht (for ‘reduced height’) [6] is a gain-of-function allele caused by a mutation in a transcription factor that is associated with the gibberellin signalling pathway. As wheat has a hexaploid genome, it does not contain recessive alleles such as sd1 in rice that might otherwise be used to produce a semi-dwarf strain of wheat. Although the genetic and biochemical functions of the rice SD1 and wheat RHT proteins are completely different (that is, recessive versus dominant, loss-of-function versus gain-offunction events, enzyme versus transcription factor, respectively), the products of both genes are linked with gibberellin malfunction [2].

In rice, Slr1 gene encodes the DELLA protein. Three semi-dominant dwarf mutants (Slr1-d1, Slr1-d2 and Slr1-d3) associated with this gene have been identified, which were caused by gain-of-function mutations in the N-terminal region of SLR1. These three mutants are responsive to GA at a reduced rate, with later SLRl degradation, and showing reduced interaction activity with GID1 (GA receptor) comparing with wild type rice [7].
