The invention belongs to the technical field of
gene engineering, and particularly discloses a
rice plant height regulation
gene OsPH4 and application thereof, the
nucleotide sequence of the
gene OsPH4 is shown as SEQ ID NO.1, and the
amino acid sequence of
protein encoded by the gene OsPH4 is shown as SEQ ID NO.2; a gene OsPH4 of Liao 93B is mutated into an OsPH4
mutant gene through a chemical mutagenic agent, and then multiple generations of
selfing are performed in a field to obtain the rice dwarf homozygous
mutant osph4. Compared with the prior art, the gene OsPH4 for regulating and controlling the
plant height is cloned in a rice dwarf
mutant by utilizing a map-based
cloning technology, and a functional
complementation experiment proves that the OsPH4 is the gene for controlling the
rice plant height. The OsPH4 gene affects the change of the
plant height of the rice, and the whole growth period shows a dwarf
phenotype; after the OsPH4 gene is mutated, the
plant height of the OsPH4 gene in the whole
rice growth period is obviously reduced, so that the OsPH4 gene can be used for cultivating dwarf rice varieties.
