Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of plant genetic engineering. It specifically relates to the application of OsNMCP1 gene in controlling drought tolerance of rice. The present invention adopts the method of candidate gene screening, through the means of reverse genetics, to clone the rice drought-tolerant response gene OsNMCP1, and the results of drought stress phenotype identification at the seedling stage and adult plant stage show that overexpressing the OsNMCP1 gene can improve the performance of rice in drought environment. The development and growth of the lower root, while the deletion of the OsNMCP1 gene will lead to the growth retardation of the rice root, the development of the cells is hindered, and the root length is shortened, which confirms the function and application of the gene. Background technique
[0002] Plants do not have the ability to move like animals, so when abiotic adversity (such as drought, waterlogging, high ...
