The invention belongs to the technical field of
plant cultivation, relates to a regulation and control method for a
plant blooming stage and more specifically relates to a method for promoting earlier blooming of chrysanthemums by utilizing a
grafting mediated RNAi (Ribonucleic Acid interfere) technology. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out
rootstock preparation, carrying out scion selection, carrying out
grafting operation and the like; and a
rootstock is a transgenic chrysanthemum material with a
methylation gene which is silenced by adopting the RNAi technology. According to the method provided by the invention, the transgenic chrysanthemum material is only used as the
rootstock and is not used for blooming, so that bio-safety risks of genetic drift can be avoided relatively well; and furthermore, a
grafting technology is applied so that the earlier blooming of different chrysanthemum varieties can be realized through the material of only one transgenic chrysanthemum variety, transgenic operation of each variety is avoided and the applicability is relatively good. According to the method for promoting the earlier blooming of the chrysanthemums, provided by the invention, the earlier blooming aim is realized relatively well on the basis of ensuring the
normal growth of plants and stabilizing the quality of the chrysanthemums, so that the method has relatively good application values on cultivation of earlier blooming series of good varieties.
