| Abstract | The potato upreg1, which encodes a mutated ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) large subunit, was introduced into rice to evaluate its potential to enhance sink-driven yield productivity in this crop. We also wished to elucidate the activities of the up-regulated allosteric variants of potato AGPase large subunit gene in rice. A T-DNA vector containing the upreg1 gene under the control of the rice glutelin promoter was constructed with a MAR sequence and transformed into rice using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Transgenic plants were selected on medium supplemented with phosphinothricin and confirmed by the application of herbicide. A total of 38 transgenic plants were subsequently obtained in which the integration upreg1 into the rice genome was confirmed by Southern blotting. The exogenous AGPase in transgenic rice plants showed a high affinity for 3-phosphoglycerate activator and a low affinity for the orthophosphate inhibitor, as observed in lettuce. The transgenic rice also showed increases in the number of grains per particle, the number of panicles per plant, and also in the fresh weight of the above-ground mass of plant which was about 15% higher than non-transgenic ‘Nak-dong’. The number of seeds per tiller was also found to be about 10% higher in the transgenic plants. However, the net photosynthesis rate showed very little difference in the transgenic rice, and we could not therefore confirm any linkage with the deregulation of allosteric effects. Based on these results, upreg1 mutant genes can be used for the genetic improvement of plant AGPases other than potato and to effectively increase crop yield productivity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
