Identification and characterization of the TH1 gene. (a) The TH1 locus was mapped to a region between markers R2-15 and R2-16 on chromosome 2. The gene was further delimited to a 48-kb genomic region between markers C2-3 and C2-4. There are seven predicated ORFs within this region. (b) The TH1 gene structure. White and black box represent untranslated region and coding sequence, respectively. Lines represent intron. The start codon (ATG) and the stop codon (TGA) are indicated. The xd151, xd281, xd425 and s2-89 mutation sites in the TH1 gene are shown. (c) Comparison of the size of TH1 cDNA between WT and the xd151 mutant. The first intron was retained within the mRNA transcript. (d) Sequence alignment of the TH1 protein with three functionally characterized member of the ALOG family, i.e., Arabidopsis LSH1, rice TAW1 and G1. The conserved ALOG domain and nuclear localization sequence (NLS) are underlined. Mutations in × 281, xd425 and s2-89 are indicated by red arrowhead. (e) Complementation of grain morphology. Two transgenic lines B195-2 and B195-5 are shown in which the wild type TH1 genomic DNA was introduced into the s2-89 mutant.
