In chromatin remodeling, the post-translational modification of histone proteins is mediated by multimeric protein complexes. VERNALIZATION INSENSITIVE3 (VIN3) forms a complex with Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), which mediates the trimethylation of H3K27 to repress target gene expression. In rice, four genes (OsVIL1-OsVIL4) encoding the VIN3-like proteins are expressed ubiquitously in various tissues. Null mutants of osvil2 display pleiotropic phenotypes such as altered flowering time, floral organ defects, and reduced tiller size. In contrast, osvil1 mutants did not show significant phenotypes except in fertilization compared with the wild type. However, transgenic plants overexpressing OsVIL1 showed phenotypes of increased biomass and grain yield. Cross-sections of the basal region of elongating stems revealed that the increased biomass was mediated by inducing cell proliferation in the meristem. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay indicated that OsVIL1 repressed expression of cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase gene (OsCKX2) by binding to the promoter and genic regions of OsCKX2. We also observed that OsVIL1 modified the levels of H3K27me3 in the OsCKX2 chromatin. Because OsCKX2 encodes an enzyme that degrades active cytokinin, we conclude that OsVIL1 functions in the regulation of endogenous active cytokinin levels, thereby increasing plant height and productivity.

Cytokinins are intimately involved in plant growth and development and their concentration is known to change dramatically during early stages of seed development. We propose that the concentration of active cytokinin may be coordinately regulated by specific member(s) of the multi-gene families encoding biosynthesis (isopentenyl transferase, IPT), catabolism (cytokinin oxidase, CKX), and metabolism (zeatin glucosyltransferases (ZOG) and β-glucosidase (GLU)) genes. Our qRT-PCR data for 22 putative genes showed that the expression patterns of individual members of the Triticum aestivum (Ta)IPTs, TaCKXs, TaZOGs, and TaGLUs multi-gene families were tissue and development specific during seed and flag leaf development, with up to 90-fold changes in mRNA level. Key genes that may be involved in seed yield determination have been identified. Keywords: Wheat, flag leaf, cytokinin genes, quantitative expression, qRT-PCR
