Polyphenol oxidase(PPO) is believed to play a role in plant growth, reproduction, and resistance to pathogens and pests. PPO causes browning of grains in cereals. In this study, genetic mapping of sorghum grain for phenol color reaction (PHR) was performed using a recombinant inbred line population. Only one locus was detected between SSR markers SM06072 and Xtxp176 on chromosome 6. Two linked orthologous genes (Sb06PPO1andSb06PPO2) within the mapped region were discovered and cloned. Transformation experiments using Nipponbare (a PHR negative rice cultivar) showed thatSb06PPO1from LTR108 and twoSb06PPO2alleles from both varieties could complement Nipponbare, whereasSb06PPO1from 654 could not. Subsequent quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) experiments showed thatSb06PPO1andSb06PPO2functioned diversely,Sb06PPO1was mainly expressed in young panicles before flowering. Sb06PPO2 was strongly expressed in flowering panicles, especially in hulls and branches at filling stage. Moreover, the expression ofSb06PPO1was found to be significantly up-regulated by exogenous ABA and salt, whereasSb06PPO2was not changed significantly, further demonstrating functional differentiation between the two genes.
