The invention discloses an oilseed rape green revolution
gene bgr and application thereof. The
gene bgr can obviously reduce the height of the rape
plant, the stem is thick and strong, lodging resistance is realized, the
branching angle is reduced, the
plant type is compact, and the harvest index is effectively improved. The
gene has remarkable
heterosis, the heterozygous bgr can enable tetraploid rapes (
brassica napus and
brassica juncea) to have ideal
plant type characteristics, the plant height is 120-160 cm, the plant type is compact, the
branching angle is small (1t, 30 degrees), the position of a first
branch is lowered, the harvest index is increased by about 27%, the gene is suitable for close planting, and the yield is greatly increased by 11-27%. The
oil content of the
hybrid brassica napus with bgr is greatly increased, can reach 51.7-54.86%, and is increased by 9.14-19.26% compared with that of a common high-oil-content rape variety. The invention contributes to valuable gene resources for rape breeding, and provides an effective means for creation of new rape
germplasm.
