This invention belongs to the fields of
plant genetic engineering and
biotechnology, and discloses a peanut endogenous strong
promoter P. AhEF1α Its preparation methods and applications. Promoters include P AhEF1α‑1 P AhEF1α‑2 P AhEF1α‑3 and P AhEF1α‑4 This invention uses the
Arabidopsis EF1α
gene amino acid sequence as a reference, identifies candidate peanut EF1α genes through homology search, screens high-expression genes by expression level analysis, and clones the aforementioned
promoter from the peanut
genome of Yuhua 9326 using PCR technology. A recombinant vector containing this
promoter is constructed and transformed into peanut embryogenic
callus tissue.
Functional verification shows that the promoter can efficiently drive the expression of downstream genes in peanut
callus. This invention solves the technical
bottleneck of existing peanut
gene editing technologies that rely on exogenous promoters and have poor adaptability, fills the gap in the application of strong endogenous promoters in peanuts, and can be used to construct a precise
gene editing
system for peanuts, promoting stress-resistant, high-quality, and grade-equal peanut varieties. It has significant practical value and industrialization prospects.
