The positive clone plasmid was verified by PCR and sequencing. The sequencing results showed that the CRK1 gene fragment shown in SEQ ID NO.1 was inserted into the vector pHpt-PSAT-N, and the recombinant vector was named pHpt-PSAT-CRK1.

[0063] 2. Construction of CRISPR knockout vector for CRK1 gene

[0064] The target site for knockout was designed based on the cDNA sequence of the CRK1 gene. The website used was: http: / / www.genome.arizona.edu / crispr / CRISPRsearch.html. The information of the designed target site is as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0065] Mutation type 1 (crk1-1) target 1 lacks 5 bp at the position 403bp to 407bp away from the start codon, and target 2 has 1 bp inserted at the position 501bp away from the start codon, resulting in a premature termination codon at the 184aa position of its protein sequence.

[0066] Mutation type 2 (crk1-2) involves the insertion and deletion of multiple bases between target 1 and target 2, resulting in a premature termination codon at position 184aa in its protein sequence.

The specific experimental methods refer to the molecular cloning experimental guide.

[0075] The following overexpression and mutant strain primers are used for subsequent material identification to determine whether they are homozygous. The identification primers used are as follows. The identification results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the primers for hygromycin were used, and the primers were Hyg + -F:CTGCCCGCTGTTCTACAACCGG,Hyg + -R: GGAGCATATACGCCCGGAGTC, wherein lanes 1-12 are for identification of overexpressed materials, lane 13 is a negative control, and lane 14 is a negative control for added double distilled water.

The verification results are shown in Figure 3As shown, the expression levels of CRK1 in the four CRK1 overexpression lines OE#2, OE#3, OE#4 and OE#5 were all increased compared with the NIP wild type.

[0086] Example 2 Identification of stress resistance of CRK1 overexpressing plants and CRISPR knockout mutant plants

[0087] 1. Growth conditions

[0088] (1) Select T3 generation CRK1 overexpressing transgenic wild-type Nipponbare seeds.

[0089] (2) Rice soil culture: After the newly harvested seeds break dormancy, soak them in a 28℃ incubator for 3 days until they germinate and then sow them. Select seeds with consistent germination and sow them evenly in a mixed soil prepared with a ratio of nutrient soil to vermiculite of 3:1. Cover the surface with a layer of vermiculite and grow them normally in a 28℃ incubator. Water them once every 2-3 days.

[0090] (3) Rice hydroponics: Seeds with uniform germination were selected and sown on a 96-well PCR plate with the bottom removed. The plate was placed in a 28°C incubator for growth. The water was changed every 2-3 days. When the third leaf was just emerging, an appropriate amount of nutrient solution was added. After the third leaf was fully expanded, the solution was replaced with clean water.

[0091] (4) The sterilized rice seeds were germinated at room temperature and then sown. Each experimental group was set up with at least 3 replicates. After culturing at 28°C for 2 weeks under the above conditions, they were heat treated at 48°C for 2-3 days and cold treated at 6°C for 2-4 days (depending on the actual situation), and then transferred to 28°C to resume growth for 7 days.

[0092] 2. For the measurement of stomatal aperture, the mutant and wild-type plants were treated with high and low temperatures; the second leaves of the plants were selected (3-4 leaves were taken each time), nail polish was applied to the surface of the leaves to fix the stomatal shape, and the colloid was air-dried and condensed into a thin film, and then the film was torn off with clean tweezers; a glass slide was made for subsequent microscopic observation, and photographed and preserved; finally, the width and length of the stomatal guard cells were measured using the software ImageJ, and the width / length value was calculated to calculate the stomatal aperture. The experimental results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, according to Figure 4 C and 4D show that overexpression of the rice CRK1 gene in rice can significantly induce stomatal closure under high and low temperature stress.

[0093] 3. For the measurement of water loss rate, set at least three biological replicates for each temperature treatment time point, and select at least three rice seedlings grown to the three-leaf stage, put them in a 50mL EP tube, add an equal amount of water and wait for subsequent treatment; before the plants are treated, wipe off the excess water on the plants with a test paper, weigh their weight, and record it as m1; treat the plants with high or low temperature, take out the plants at each set time point, wipe off the excess water on the plants with a test paper, weigh their weight, and record it as m2; use the formula: (m1-m2) / m1 to calculate the plant's living water loss rate, and use a line graph to record the changes. The test results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, according to Figure 5 C and 5D show that overexpression of the rice CRK1 gene in rice can significantly reduce the water loss rate under high and low temperature stress.

[0094] 4. For the survival rate of heat stress resistance in the seedling stage, the judgment standard of this study is whether new leaves grow. If there are new leaves, the plant is considered alive, otherwise, it is judged as dead. Figure 6 As shown, according to Figure 6 D shows that overexpressing the rice CRK1 gene in rice can significantly improve the rice's ability to resist high temperature stress.

[0095] 5. For the survival rate of seedlings resistant to cold stress, the criterion of this study is whether new leaves grow. If there are new leaves, the plant is considered alive, otherwise, it is considered dead. Figure 7 As shown, according to Figure 7 D shows that overexpression of the rice CRK1 gene in rice can significantly improve the rice's ability to resist low temperature stress.

[0096] Therefore, rice CRK1 protein, its encoding gene and recombinant vector can be used to enhance the dual stress resistance of crops.

[0097] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the numerical value set forth in these embodiments does not limit the scope of the present invention. In all examples shown and described here, unless otherwise specified, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary, rather than as restriction, and therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.
