摘要： Key message A novel MADS-box member SiMADS34 is essential for regulating inflorescence architecture and grain yield in Setaria italica. MADS-box transcription factors participate in regulating various developmental processes in plants. Inflorescence architecture is one of the most important agronomic traits and is closely associated with grain yield in most staple crops. Here, we isolated a panicle development mutant simads34 from a foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.) EMS mutant library. The mutant showed significantly altered inflorescence architecture and decreased grain yield. Investigation of agronomic traits revealed increased panicle width by 16.8%, primary branch length by 10%, and number of primary branches by 30.9%, but reduced panicle length by 25.2%, and grain weight by 25.5% in simads34 compared with wild-type plants. Genetic analysis of a simads34 x SSR41 F-2 population indicated that the simads34 phenotype was controlled by a recessive gene. Map-based cloning and bulked-segregant analysis sequencing demonstrated that a single G-to-A transition in the fifth intron of SiMADS34 in the mutant led to an alternative splicing event and caused an early termination codon in this causal gene. SiMADS34 mRNA was expressed in all of the tissues tested, with high expression levels at the heading and panicle development stages. Subcellular localization analysis showed that simads34 predominantly accumulated in the nucleus. Transcriptome sequencing identified 241 differentially expressed genes related to inflorescence development, cell expansion, cell division, meristem growth and peroxide stress in simads34. Notably, an SPL14-MADS34-RCN pathway was validated through both RNA-seq and qPCR tests, indicating the putative molecular mechanisms regulating inflorescence development by SiMADS34. Our study identified a novel MADS-box member in foxtail millet and provided a useful genetic resource for inflorescence architecture and grain yield research.
