Embodiment 1

[0039] Example 1 Construction of Rice SPL18 Gene OsSPL18 Overexpression Vector

[0040] OsSPL18 gene expression box genome sequence (nucleotide sequence shown in SEQIDNO.5) acquisition: design PCR primers:

[0041] OsSPL18-geno-F (5'TGGTACCGATCTCACGTAAATACAATTCTCC) and OsSPL18-geno-R (5'CGGGTACCAATGATATATTTCTGCATAAGTTT) were amplified by PCR using the commercial rice variety Xiushui-134 genome as a template, including the putative OsSPL18 gene promoter, expression sequence and termination The size of the subsequence is a genome fragment of 7.4kb, and the sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:5. The PCR reaction conditions were: 95°C for 3 minutes; 95°C for 15 seconds, 58°C for 15 seconds, 72°C for 7.5 minutes, repeating 33 cycles; and then 72°C for 10 minutes.

[0043] The construction of embodiment 2 rice SPL18 gene cDNA overexpression vector

[0044] 1. Cloning of cDNA

[0045] Cloning of rice OsSPL18 gene cDNA: PCR primers OsSPL18-CF (5'GGATCCAACAATGGATTGGGATCTCAAGATG) and OsSPL18-CR (5'GAGCTCCTACTGCCACGAGAATGGGAGCG) were designed, using the cDNA reverse-transcribed from the total RNA of inbred line 9311 as a template, and obtained by PCR amplification cDNA sequence of OsSPL18. The PCR reaction conditions were: 95°C for 3 minutes; 95°C for 15 seconds, 58°C for 15 seconds, 72°C for 90 seconds, repeating 33 cycles; and then 72°C for 10 minutes. The obtained PCR product of about 1.5 kb was cloned into the T-vector pMD19. Then, the corresponding cDNA (SEQ ID NO: 6) was obtained by double digestion with BamHI and SacI, and DNA sequence determination showed that the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA was correct. Then use pCambia1300 as a transition vector, double digest with BamHI and SacI to obtain the sequenced correct OsSPL18cDNA fra...

Abstract

The invention discloses application of an SPL18 gene in enhancing plant yield. The SPL18 gene is derived from corn, rice, sorghum, wheat, barley, rye, millet, soybean, rape or sunflower. For the first time, the invention provides a method for enhancing grain number per spike or / and grain weight by promoting spike branching by using the SPL18 gene. The SPL gene is overexpressed in the crop, thereby effectively promoting spike branching, enhancing the grain number per spike or / and grain weight by 3% or above, and increasing the yield by 5% or above. The technique can effectively enhance the individual yield and yield per unit area, thereby enhancing the grain productivity and providing a new idea for national grain safety.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an application of the SPL18 gene, in particular to the application of regulating the grain number and grain weight per panicle of the crops and increasing the yield in crops such as rice, corn and wheat. (2) Background technology [0002] The continuous increase of population and the reduction of arable area must rely on increasing the yield of crops per unit area to meet human needs. Transgenic technology has been widely used to improve the traits of crops, such as acquiring insect resistance, herbicide resistance, enhancing drought resistance, and disease resistance. High yield is also an important content of transgenic crop improvement. For example, the yield of crops can be improved by transgenic expression of a plant transcription factor (U.S. Pat. No. 7,598,529,4). However, crop yield is a complex quantitative trait that is regulated by many genes (Xing and Zhang, (2010) Annual Review of Plant Biology, 61:421-442). ...
