摘要： Flowering time (or heading date) is an important agronomic trait that determines the environmental adaptability and yield of many crops, including rice (Oryza sativa L.). Hd3a BINDING REPRESSOR FACTOR 1 (HBF1), a basic leucine zipper transcription factor, delays flowering by decreasing the expression of Early heading date 1 (Ehd1), Heading date 3a (Hd3a), and RICE FLOWERING LOCUS T 1 (RFT1), but the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Here, we employed the hybrid transcriptional factor (HTF) strategy to enhance the transcriptional activity of HBF1 by fusing it to four copies of the activation domain from Herpes simplex virus VP16. We discovered that transgenic rice lines overexpressing HBF1-VP64 (HBF1V) show significant delays in time to flower, compared to lines overexpressing HBF1-MYC or wild-type plants, via the Ehd1-Hd3a/RFT1 pathway, under both long-day and short-day conditions. Transcriptome deep sequencing analysis indicated that 19 WRKY family genes are upregulated in the HBF1V overexpression line. We demonstrate that the previously unknown gene, OsWRKY64, is a direct downstream target of HBF1 and represses flowering in rice, whereas three known flowering repressor genes, Days to heading 7 (DTH7), CONSTANS 3 (OsCO3), and OsWRKY104, are also direct target genes of HBF1 in flowering regulation. Taking these results together, we propose detailed molecular mechanisms by which HBF1 regulates the time to flower in rice.
