Tiller angle is a key agricultural trait that estab-lishes plant architecture,which in turn strongly affects grain yield by influencing planting density in rice.The shoot gravity response plays a crucial role in the regulation of tiller angle in rice,but the underlying molecular mechanism is largely un-known.Here,we report the identification of the BIG TILLER ANGLE2(BTA2),which regulates tiller angle by controlling the shoot gravity response in rice.Loss-of-function mutation of BTA2 dramati-cally reduced auxin content and affected auxin distribution in rice shoot base,leading to impaired gravitropism and therefore a big tiller angle.BTA2 interacted with AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR7(ARF7)to modulate rice tiller angle through the gravity signaling pathway.The BTA2 protein was highly conserved during evolution.Sequence var-iation in the BTA2 promoter of indica cultivars harboring a less expressed BTA2 allele caused lower BTA2 expression in shoot base and thus wide tiller angle during rice domestication.Over-expression of BTA2 significantly increased grain yield in the elite rice cultivar Huanghuazhan under appropriate dense planting conditions.Our find-ings thus uncovered the BTA2-ARF7 module that regulates tiller angle by mediating the shoot gravity response.Our work offers a target for genetic manipulation of plant architecture and valuable information for crop improvement by producing the ideal plant type.
