The application belongs to the technical field of
plant genetic engineering, and discloses a
gene for promoting adventitious root development and application thereof. EuWOX11 The application specifically discloses the application of the
gene, a
recombinant expression vector containing the
gene or an engineered bacterium containing the gene in at least one of promoting adventitious root generation, adventitious root elongation, increasing the number of adventitious roots, increasing the
biomass of adventitious roots, and promoting the growth of an aboveground part; the application in at least one of improving the rooting characteristics of woody plants, shortening the rooting cycle of cuttage, increasing the rooting rate of cuttage, increasing the
survival rate of cuttage, and increasing the efficiency of
asexual reproduction; and a method for obtaining a
plant with improved adventitious root development. The transgenic
plant obtained by overexpressing the gene has a more developed
root system, a more vigorous aboveground part, and stronger adaptability after planting, and can significantly improve the
seedling raising efficiency and
seedling quality and reduce the production cost, and has important application value and economic value in the
molecular breeding and industrial breeding of
eucommia ulmoides and
populus tomentosa.
