This invention provides a rice gene Bph54 for resistance to brown planthopper and its application. The rice provided by this invention... Bph54 Genes are of great significance for breeding new rice varieties resistant to brown planthoppers. This invention successfully cloned the rice Bph54 gene using map-based cloning, and performed functional annotation and identification. This gene exhibits complete dominance, and both homozygous and heterozygous genotypes confer equal resistance to brown planthoppers in rice. This characteristic is beneficial for the application of this gene in breeding. Based on this, the Bph54 gene can be introduced into brown planthopper-susceptible plant varieties through traditional breeding techniques such as hybridization and backcrossing, or through genetic engineering, to cultivate new varieties of plants resistant to brown planthoppers with stable genetic traits. This invention provides important germplasm resources for effectively reducing insect damage and achieving increased and stable crop yields.

This invention discloses a method for promoting somatic embryogenesis and maturation in Cryptomeria japonica, belonging to the field of somatic embryogenesis technology. The method involves using immature seed embryos as explants to induce embryogenic callus; transferring the proliferated embryogenic callus to a somatic embryogenesis induction medium for further culture to obtain somatic embryos; transferring the somatic embryos to a somatic embryogenesis maturation medium for dark culture to obtain mature cotyledonary embryos; transferring the mature cotyledonary embryos to a somatic embryogenesis basal medium for light culture to obtain somatic embryonic seedlings; and hardening off the seedlings before transplanting to obtain regenerated plants. The results of this application show that embryogenic callus can be stably obtained from different families, with high somatic embryogenesis maturation capacity and rate, enabling the cultivation of a large number of high-quality seedlings with stable genetic traits in a short time; avoiding the phenotypic segregation problem caused by gene recombination during seed propagation, and ensuring that offspring plants inherit the superior characteristics of the parents.
