The invention discloses a rice
nitrogen efficient utilization
gene OsNAC15, a
protein coded by the
gene OsNAC15 and application of the
gene OsNAC15, and belongs to the technical field of
molecular breeding. The invention discloses the effect of the OsNAC15 gene in efficient utilization of rice
nitrogen for the first time, the overexpression of the rice OsNAC15 gene significantly improves the
nitrogen utilization rate and yield of a
plant, and the
mutation of the OsNAC15 gene significantly reduces the nitrogen
utilization rate and yield of the
plant; the
mutant and / or overexpressed OsNAC15 gene has the advantages that the
plant development is normal, the regulation and control of the nitrogen
nutrition utilization rate of the rice can be realized by precisely regulating and controlling the expression level of the gene, the
biomass and yield of crops are further improved, the environmental
pollution is reduced, and the application prospect in the agricultural field is wide. Especially in the aspect of cultivating
crop varieties capable of efficiently absorbing and utilizing
nitrogen fertilizer, such as rice, corn, wheat, soybean, cotton, rape and other key crops, the wide application of the strain is expected to lead the agricultural production to be more environment-friendly and efficient, and a powerful scientific and technological support is provided for solving global grain safety problems and
environmental protection challenges.
