The invention belongs to the technical field of
plant genetic engineering, and particularly relates to application of a PcWVD2
gene in enhancing the
dwarfing ability of
pear plants. The CDS (Coding Sequence) of the PcWVD2
gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. The
amino acid sequence coded by the PcWVD2
gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 2. The invention reveals that the PcWVD2 gene has the function of regulating and controlling the dwarf character of the
pear plant, the dwarf ability of the
pear can be obviously enhanced by over-expressing the gene, the dwarf ability shows that the
plant height is reduced, the internode is shortened and the
root length is shortened, and an important
candidate gene is provided for dwarf close planting cultivation of the
pear tree. According to the method for enhancing the
dwarfing ability of the pear plant, the endogenous
dwarfing gene PcWVD2 is directly overexpressed by the pear plant through genetic transformation, the stably inherited dwarfing character can be realized, the dependence on dwarfing
rootstock can be gotten rid of, and the cultivation management cost can be reduced.
