%X <B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>A mutation was first found to cause the great generation of glutelin precursors (proglutelins) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) endosperm, and thus referred to as GPGG1. The GPGG1 was involved in synthesis and compartmentation of storage proteins. The PPR-like gene in GPGG1-mapped region was determined as its candidate gene. In the wild type rice, glutelins and prolamins are synthesized on respective subdomains of rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and intracellularly compartmentalized into different storage protein bodies. In this study, a storage protein mutant was obtained and characterized by the great generation of proglutelins combining with the lacking of 13 kD prolamins. A dominant genic-mutation, referred to as GPGG1, was clarified to result in the proteinous alteration. Novel saccular composite-ER was shown to act in the synthesis of proglutelins and 14 kD prolamins in the mutant. Additionally, a series of organelles including newly occurring several compartments were shown to function in the transfer, trans-plasmalemmal transport, delivery, deposition and degradation of storage proteins in the mutant. The GPGG1 gene was mapped to a 67.256 kb region of chromosome 12, the pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR)-like gene in this region was detected to contain mutational sites.
