Abstract

The invention discloses application of DT1 proteins to regulating the stomatal density of plants and improving the drought resistance thereof, and provides a method for cultivating transgenic plants. The method for cultivating the transgenic plants includes a step of transferring DT1 protein encoding genes into starting plants to obtain the transgenic plants with the drought resistance higher than the drought resistance of the starting plants. The DT1 proteins are proteins (a) or (b); the proteins (a) comprise amino acid sequences shown as sequences 1 in sequence tables; the amino acid sequences shown as the sequences 1 are subjected to substitution and / or deletion and / or addition by the aid of an amino acid residue or a plurality of amino acid residues, so that the proteins (b) can be derived from the sequences 1 and are related to the drought resistance of the plants. The application has the advantages that as discovered by the inventor, the stomatal density of leaf epidermis can be effectively reduced if the expression level of DT1 genes is improved in Arabidopsis thaliana, accordingly, the transpiration rates of the transgenic plants can be reduced, and the drought resistance of the plants can be improved; important effects can be realized for controlling the stomatal density of leaves of the plants and improving the drought resistance of the plants.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically relates to the application of DT1 protein in regulating plant stomatal density and improving plant drought resistance. Background technique [0002] Drought is an important reason affecting crop yields. When the water absorbed by the roots of plants is not enough for transpiration, the plants will be short of water. The lack of water in plants will reduce cell turgor pressure, limit cell swelling, reduce leaf area and photosynthetic source, and thus reduce biomass and yield. [0003] Reducing the transpiration rate of plants can reduce the consumption of soil water and is an effective method to improve the drought resistance of plants. [0004] Both stomata opening and stomata density can regulate the transpiration and utilization of water. Reducing stomata density can improve water use efficiency and drought resistance of plants. Summary of the invention [0005] The purpose of the presen...
