Abstract
CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing systems have revolutionized plant gene functional studies by enabling the targeted introduction of insertion-deletions (INDELs) via the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway. Frameshift-inducing INDELs can introduce a premature termination codon and, in other instances, can lead to the appearance of new proteins. Here, we found that mutations in the rice jasmonate (JA) signaling gene OsJAZ10 by CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing did not affect canonical JA signaling. However, a type of mutant with an INDEL that yielded a novel frameshift protein named FJ10 ( F rameshift mutation of J AZ 10 ), exhibited enhanced rice growth and increased resistance to brown planthopper attacks. Overexpression of FJ10 in wild-type plants phenocopies OsJAZ10 frameshift mutants. Further characterization revealed that FJ10 interacts with Slender Rice 1 (OsSLR1) and F-box/Kelch 16 (OsFBK16). These interactions disrupt the function of OsSLR1 in suppressing gibberellin-mediated growth and the function of OsFBK16 in repressing lignin-mediated defense responses, respectively. Field experiments with FJ10 -expressing plants demonstrate that this protein uncouples the growth–defense tradeoff, opening broad avenues to obtain cultivars with enhanced yield without compromised defenses.
