摘要： Maize (Zea mays) thick aleurone1 (thk1-R) mutants form multiple aleurone layers in the endosperm and have arrested embryogenesis. Prior studies suggest that thk1 functions downstream of defective kernel1 (dek1) in a regulatory pathway that controls aleurone cell fate and other endosperm traits. The original thk1-R mutant contained an similar to 2-Mb multigene deletion, which precluded identification of the causal gene. Here, ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis produced additional alleles, and RNA sequencing from developing endosperm was used to identify a candidate gene based on differential expression compared with the wild-type progenitor. Gene editing confirmed the gene identity by producing mutant alleles that failed to complement existing thk1 mutants and that produced multiple-aleurone homozygous phenotypes. Thk1 encodes a homolog of NEGATIVE ON TATA-LESS1, a protein that acts as a scaffold for the CARBON CATABOLITE REPRESSION4-NEGATIVE ON TATA-LESS complex. This complex is highly conserved and essential in all eukaryotes for regulating a wide array of gene expression and cellular activities. Maize also harbors a duplicate locus, thick aleurone-like1, which likely accounts for the ability of thk1 mutants to form viable cells. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that THK1 regulates activities involving cell division, signaling, differentiation, and metabolism. Identification of thk1 provides an important new component of the DEK1 regulatory system that patterns cell fate in endosperm.
