The invention relates to the technical field of
plant gene engineering, in particular to new
functional verification and application of a rice
transcription factor OsGTBP for a regulation and control cis-type reaction element GT-1. Driving of a strong
promoter and the transcription technology based on the
RNA interference principle are utilized for transferring an excess
expression vector and an RNAi carrier of an OsGTBP
gene to a rice variety middle flower (11), and expression of the OsGTBP
gene in rice is excessive or is inhibited. Resistance, to
xanthomonas oryzae and
rhizoctonia solani, of the genetically-transformed rice with the expression quantity of the OsGTBP gene remarkably increased can be enhanced obviously, resistance, to
xanthomonas oryzae and
rhizoctonia solani, of the genetically-transformed rice with the expression quantity of the OsGTBP gene remarkably decreased can be weakened obviously, and it proves that the OsGTBP gene plays an important role in
xanthomonas oryzae and
rhizoctonia solani resistance of the rice; meanwhile, tolerance, to drought, of the genetically-transformed rice with the expression quantity of the OsGTBP gene remarkably increased can be enhanced obviously, tolerance, to drought, of the genetically-transformed rice with the expression quantity of the OsGTBP gene remarkably decreased can be weakened obviously, and it proves that the OsGTBP gene also plays an important role in
drought resistance.
