摘要: Temperature-sensitive male sterility is one of the core components for hybrid rice (Oryza sativa) breeding based on the 2-line system. We previously found that knockout of ARGONAUTE 1d (AGO1d) causes temperature-sensitive male sterility in rice by influencing phased small interfering RNA (phasiRNA) biogenesis and function. However, the specific phasiRNAs and their targets underlying the temperature-sensitive male sterility in the ago1d mutant remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the ago1d mutant displays normal female fertility but complete male sterility at low temperature. Through a multiomics analysis of small RNA (sRNA), degradome, and transcriptome, we found that 21-nt phasiRNAs account for the greatest proportion of the 21-nt sRNA species in rice anthers and are sensitive to low temperature and markedly downregulated in the ago1d mutant. Moreover, we found that 21-nt phasiRNAs are essential for the mRNA cleavage of a set of fertility- and cold tolerance-associated genes, such as Earlier Degraded Tapetum 1 (EDT1), Tapetum Degeneration Retardation (TDR), OsPCF5, and OsTCP21, directly or indirectly determined by AGO1d-mediated gene silencing. The loss of function of 21-nt phasiRNAs can result in upregulation of their targets and causes varying degrees of defects in male fertility and grain setting. Our results highlight the essential functions of 21-nt phasiRNAs in temperature-sensitive male sterility in rice and suggest their promising application in 2-line hybrid rice breeding in the future. Multiomics analysis of small RNAs, degradome, and transcriptome reveals 21-nucleotide phasiRNAs are essential for mRNA cleavage of genes for fertility and cold tolerance to determine temperature-sensitive male sterility in rice.
