摘要： Rice (Oryza sativa L.), one of the most important food crops worldwide, is a facultative short-day (SD) plant in which flowering is modulated by seasonal and temperature cues. The photoperiodic molecular network is the core network for regulating flowering in rice, and is composed of photoreceptors, a circadian clock, a photoperiodic flowering core module, and florigen genes. The Hd1-DTH8-Ghd7-PRR37 module, a photoperiodic flowering core module, improves the latitude adaptation through mediating the multiple daylength-sensing processes in rice. However, how the other photoperiod-related genes regulate daylength-sensing and latitude adaptation remains largely unknown. Here, we determined that mutations in the photoreceptor and circadian clock genes can generate different daylength-sensing processes. Furthermore, we measured the yield-related traits in various mutants, including the main panicle length, grains per panicle, seed-setting rate, hundred-grain weight, and yield per panicle. Our results showed that the prr37, elf3-1 and ehd1 mutants can change the daylength-sensing processes and exhibit longer main panicle lengths and more grains per panicle. Hence, the PRR37, ELF3-1 and Ehd1 locus has excellent potential for latitude adaptation and production improvement in rice breeding. In summary, this study systematically explored how vital elements of the photoperiod network regulate daylength sensing and yield traits, providing critical information for their breeding applications.
