LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1) is the central regulator of seed development. During seed development, rice embryo photosynthesis is completely blocked, which is different from Arabidopsis green embryo. However, effects of LEC1 on photosynthesis in developing seeds is largely elusive. We generated OsLEC1 mutants using the CRISPR/Cas9 technique. Oslec1 mutant seeds lost the ability of dormancy and triggered photosynthesis in embryos at the early developing stage. Transcriptome analysis demonstrated that Oslec1 mutation promoted photosynthesis and altered diverse hormonal pathways and stress response contributing to seed dormancy. Further, genome-wide identification of OsLEC1 binding sites demonstrated that OsLEC1 directly bound to genes involved in photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, as well as abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin (GA) pathways, in seed maturation. We illustrated an OsLEC1-controlling gene network during seed development, including the interconnection between photosynthesis and ABA/GA biosynthesis/signalling. Our findings suggested that OsLEC1 is an inhibitor of photosynthesis during embryo development to promote rice seed maturation. This study would provide new understanding for the OsLEC1 regulatory mechanisms on photosynthesis in the monocot seed development.
