N-6-Methyladenosine (m(6)A) RNA methylation plays important roles during development in different species. However, knowledge of m(6)A RNA methylation in monocots remains limited. In this study, we reported that OsFIP and OsMTA2 are the components of m(6)A RNA methyltransferase complex in rice and uncovered a previously unknown function of m(6)A RNA methylation in regulation of plant sporogenesis. Importantly, OsFIP is essential for rice male gametogenesis. Knocking out of OsFIP results in early degeneration of microspores at the vacuolated pollen stage and simultaneously causes abnormal meiosis in prophase I. We further analyzed the profile of rice m(6)A modification during sporogenesis in both WT and OsFIP loss-of-function plants, and identified a rice panicle specific m(6)A modification motif UGWAMH. Interestingly, we found that OsFIP directly mediates the m(6)A methylation of a set of threonine protease and NTPase mRNAs and is essential for their expression and/or splicing, which in turn regulates the progress of sporogenesis. Our findings revealed for the first time that OsFIP plays an indispensable role in plant early sporogenesis. This study also provides evidence for the different functions of the m(6)A RNA methyltransferase complex between rice and Arabidopsis.
