Key messageThis research is the first to demonstrate that OsSAUR45 is involved in plant growth though affecting auxin synthesis and transport by repressing OsYUCCA and OsPIN gene expression in rice.AbstractSmall auxin-up RNAs (SAURs) comprise a large multigene family and are rapidly activated as part of the primary auxin response in plants. However, little is known about the role of SAURs in plant growth and development, especially in monocots. Here, we report the biological function ofOsSAUR45in the model plant rice (Oryza sativa).OsSAUR45is expressed in a tissue-specific pattern and is localized to the cytoplasm. Rice lines overexpressingOsSAUR45displayed pleiotropic developmental defects including reduced plant height and primary root length, fewer adventitious roots, narrower leaves, and reduced seed setting. Auxin levels and transport were reduced in theOsSAUR45overexpression lines, potentially because of decreased expression of Flavin-binding monooxygenase family proteins (OsYUCCAs) and PIN-FORMED family proteins (OsPINs). Exogenous auxin application rapidly inducedOsSAUR45expression and partially restored the phenotype of rice lines overexpressingOsSAUR45. These results demonstrate thatOsSAUR45is involved in plant growth by affecting auxin synthesis and transport through the repression ofOsYUCCAandOsPINgene expression in rice.
