Key messageDart1-24, one of the 37 autonomous DNA transposonDart1s, was heritably activated by the demethylation of the 5′ region following 5-azaC treatment of rice seeds.AbstractTransposons are controlled by epigenetic regulations. To obtain newly activated autonomous elements ofDart1, a DNA transposon, in rice, seeds of a stable pale yellow leaf (pyl-stb) mutant caused by the insertion ofnDart1-0, a nonautonomous element inOsClpP5,were treated with 5-azaC, a demethylating agent. In the 5-azaC-treated M1 plants, 60–70% of the plants displayed variegated pale yellow leaf (pyl-v) phenotype, depending on the concentration of 5-azaC used, suggesting that inactivatedDart1might become highly activated by 5-azaC treatment andnDart1-0was excised fromOsClpP5by the activatedDart1s. Although the M2 plants derived from most of these pyl-v plants showed stable pyl phenotypes, some variegated M1 plants generated pyl-v M2 progeny. These results indicated that most M1 pyl-v phenotypes at M1 were not heritable.Dart1-24,1-27and1-28were expressed in the M2 pyl-v plants, and mapping analysis confirmed thatDart1-24was newly activated. Further, the transgenerational activation ofDart1-24was demonstrated to be caused by the demethylation of nucleotides in its 5′ region.
