摘要

Aroma is a key determinant of rice quality and consumer acceptance. This study reports the identification of an aromatic rice cultivar, PSXN, characterized by high accumulation of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) alongside a fully functional badh2 gene. The novel aroma gene aro was successfully mapped to a 201.1 kb interval on chromosome 8 through a combination of gene chip technology and SSR marker analysis. Subsequent comprehensive functional annotation, ontology analysis, and expression profiling indicated Os08g0431100, Os08g0430800, and Os08g0430300 as the most promising candidate genes for aro. Notably, comparative metabolic pathway analyses displayed no significant differences in most key aroma-related compounds and enzymatic activities between aro-containing cultivars and non-aromatic controls, suggesting the existence of an alternative 2-AP biosynthetic pathway independent of the classical badh2 mechanism. This study expands our understanding of rice aromatic genetics and opens new avenues for rice quality improvement.
