Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of plant biotechnology. It specifically relates to the cloning of a transcription factor gene zm-bRLZ, which is located on the 9th chromosome of maize and is related to waterlogging tolerance of maize seedlings, and the development and application of its functional markers. Background technique
[0002] Spring corn in the south and summer corn in the north often suffer from floods and waterlogging during the normal cultivation season. Long-term waterlogging makes the corn root system in a low-oxygen state, resulting in a reduction in corn yield. Waterlogging has become an important abiotic stress factor restricting the high and stable yield of maize. Breeding waterlogging-tolerant maize varieties is an effective way to reduce losses caused by flooding stress.
[0003] Many studies have shown that there are genetic differences in waterlogging tolerance among maize inbred lines, which provide genetic resources for gen...
