IDEAL PLANT ARCHITECTURE1 (IPA1), a pleiotropic gene isolated through a map-based cloning approach, has been shown to be one of the key regulators that determine plant architecture.

IPA1 Suppresses Rice Tillering Mainly through Positive Regulation of Os TB1
Os TB1 acts as a negative regulator of rice tillering (Takeda et al., 2003; Minakuchi et al., 2010) and that Os TB1 is a potential direct target of IPA1. The peak summits for IPA1 binding sites were located 96 and 187 bp upstream of the Os TB1 TSS in the two YP replicates, respectively.However, the Os TB1 promoter was significantly enriched in both SAs and YPs by the ChIP-qPCR analysis, indicating that Os TB1 is probably under the control of IPA1 in both tissues (Figure 1B). Further analysis of binding peaks revealed that the GTAC motif, rather than the TGGGCC/T motif, existed in the Os TB1 promoter. To test whether IPA1 can directly bind to the GTAC motif in the Os TB1 promoter, we performed an EMSA assay and found that GST-IPA1 could bind to a 59-bp probe from the Os TB1 promoter (Figure 1C). The mutation of GTAC to ATAC abolished its binding affinity, demonstrating that the binding was dependent on the GTAC motif. As a negative regulator in rice tiller development, Os TB1 is expressed in axillary buds, and its deficiency results in a semidwarf phenotype with a significant increase in tiller number (Takeda et al., 2003; Minakuchi et al., 2010). This suggests that the reduced tiller phenotype of ipa1 plants may result from the direct activation of Os TB1 by IPA1. The RNA level of Os TB1 was significantly upregulated in SAs in NIL-ipa1, but much less significantly in YPs (Figure 1 D). Furthermore, the double mutant analysis showed that the mutation of Os TB1 could suppress the tillering phenotype of ipa1 (Figure 1E). Since Os TB1 is homologous to PCF1 and PCF2, we tested whether Os TB1 could also interact with IPA1. A weak interaction was detected in the yeast two-hybrid assay , and EMSA further showed that Os TB1 could directly bind the TGGGCC/T motif, indicating that Os TB1 also functions as an adaptor for the interaction between IPA1 and the TGGGCC/T motif. Considering that Os TB1 is not only a target of IPA1, but also can interact with IPA1, we propose that Os TB1 is probably involved in the feedback regulation of IPA1 transcriptional activity.
Increased Plant Height and Panicle Branches
DEP1 is another important regulatory gene that affects rice architecture, especially panicle morphology. A truncated mutation of DEP1 enhances panicle meristematic activity, resulting in reduced length of inflorescence internodes, increased number of grains per panicle, and a consequent increase in grain yield (Huang et al., 2009). IPA1 ChIP-seq analysis revealed that DEP1 was also a direct target of IPA1 . The peak summits of IPA1 binding were located 566, 514, 440, and 500 bp upstream of the DEP1 TSS in SA rep 1, SA rep 2, YP rep 1, and YP rep 2, respectively (Figure 2A). Within the peaks in the DEP1 promoter, besides the highest peak summit, there are other two subsummits showing local max sequencing reads (Figure 2A). Through analyzing the DEP1 promoter sequence, several GTAC motifs were found, and three sites around the peak summits and subsummits were considered to be responsible for the binding of IPA1. To confirm this, ChIP-qPCR was performed. As shown in Figure 2B, the two specific regions were significantly enriched. We then tested whether IPA1 could directly bind to the promoter of DEP1 by EMSA with three 59-bp sequences around the peak summit and subsummits as probes and found that IPA1 could bind to all the three probes but could not bind to a probe containing the mutated binding core motif (Figure 2C). These results demonstrate that IPA1 can directly bind to the promoter of DEP1 at different sites and the GTAC core motifs are responsible for IPA1 binding, suggesting that DEP1 is a direct target of IPA1. To further understand the biological functions of DEP1 as a direct target of IPA1, we generated recombinant inbred lines by crossing Ri22, an ipa1-carrying cultivar (Jiao et al., 2010), with LJ5, a rice variety carrying the dep1 mutation (Huang et al.2009). As shown in Figures 3A and3B, the plant height of the RIL-ipa1/dep1 lines was reduced to a similar level to the RIL-IPA1/dep1 lines. Consistent with the previous result that dep1 does not affect rice tillering, the tiller number of RIL-ipa1/dep1 lines exhibited no significant difference from RIL-ipa1/DEP1 lines. We also noticed that the panicle morphology of the RIL-ipa1/dep1 lines was dense and erect (Figures 3C and 3D). Compared with the RIL-ipa1/DEP1 lines, the panicle length of RIL-ipa1/dep1 lines was significantly reduced, but no obvious change in panicle branches was found. Like IPA1, DEP1 was also strongly expressed in culms, SAs, and YPs, but weakly in roots (Figure 3E), suggesting that IPA1 may regulate the expression of DEP1. We further examined the expression of DEP1 in NIL-ipa1 lines and found that DEP1 transcripts were significantly increased in the SA of NIL-ipa1 lines, but only slightly in YP (Figure 3F). Therefore, it is likely that IPA1 functions as a positive regulator of DEP1 in regulating plant height and panicle length in rice.
Protein
IPA1 encodes the protein Os SPL14, and in the ipa1 mutant, one nucleotide substitution located in the recognition site for microRNA156 (miRNA156) perturbs IPA1 mRNA degradation, which results in accumulation of IPA1 and leads to the formation of ideal plant architecture with decreased tiller number and increased plant height and panicle branches (from reference[2]).
WEALTHY FARMER’S PANICLE, another overexpression allele of Os SPL14, resulted from an epigenetic change in the Os SPL14 promoter and shows a similar phenotype (Miura et al., 2010). Therefore, it has been suggested that Os SPL14 alleles have great potential for breeding (Jiao et al., 2010; Miura et al., 2010).
