Abstract

The invention discloses a method for heterologously synthesizing gamma-polyglutamic acid in plants to improve plant stress resistance and yield, which is to clone three key enzyme genes PgsA and PgsA for synthesizing gamma-PGA from a strain producing gamma-PGA PgsB, PgsC, and re-synthesize the codon-optimized gene sequences of PgsA, PgsB, and PgsC according to the codon preference in plants, and connect them into the vector pU130‑bar to obtain the plant expression vector PGA001, which was transferred into the In plants, a new line of transgenic plants producing γ-polyglutamic acid is obtained. Experiments have proved that the new line of transgenic maize obtained by the method of the present invention can not only improve drought resistance but also salt resistance, and can also significantly increase the biomass of maize under drought stress conditions and normal growth conditions. The above results indicate that the method of the present invention is a green, efficient and sustainable solution to the stable or reduced yield of crops under drought, water shortage, and saline-alkali stress. It can be widely used in drought-resistant, salt-tolerant molecular breeding and new Breeding.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for improving stress resistance and yield of plants, in particular to a method for heterologously synthesizing gamma-polyglutamic acid in plants to improve plant stress resistance and yield, which belongs to genetic engineering, genetic breeding, and synthetic biology field of technology. Background technique [0002] Abiotic stresses such as drought and soil salinization have become the main limiting factors of crop production in many countries and regions in the world. In China, about half of the country's land area is in arid and semi-arid regions. As the global temperature rises, my country's water resources are becoming more and more scarce, and droughts have an increasing impact on crop yields. In addition, soil salinization is also a major environmental factor affecting crop yield. At present, about 20% of the cultivated land and nearly 50% of the irrigated land in the world are seriously harmed by salinizati...
