Grains from cereals contribute an important source of protein to human food, and grain protein content (GPC) is an important determinant of nutritional quality in cereals. Here we show that the quantitative trait locus (QTL)  qPC1  in rice controls GPC by regulating the synthesis and accumulation of glutelins, prolamins, globulins, albumins and starch.  qPC1  encodes a putative amino acid transporter  OsAAP6 , which functions as a positive regulator of GPC in rice, such that higher expression of  OsAAP6  is correlated with higher GPC.  OsAAP6  greatly enhances root absorption of a range of amino acids and has effects on the distribution of various amino acids. Two common variations in the potential  cis -regulatory elements of the  OsAAP6  5′-untranslated region seem to be associated with GPC diversity mainly in  indica  cultivars. Our results represent the first step toward unravelling the mechanism of regulation underlying natural variation of GPC in rice.
