Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a method for improving the lodging resistance of rapeseed. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) planting in China mainly adopts two modes of seedbed seedling transplanting and direct sowing. The seedlings on the seedbed are densely planted and may be shaded during the seedling stage. In order to ensure the seedling rate, the sowing amount is generally too high when direct sowing is adopted, and a shaded environment is easily formed. However, the existing rapeseed varieties have low density tolerance, and the hypocotyl elongation and lodging caused by the shade avoidance response affect the yield and quality of rapeseed. Brassica napus Brassica napus It is found that the seedling stage traits of rapeseed, including the seedling stage lodging, are significantly related to a series of agronomic performance at the seedling stage (Korber N, Wittkop B, Bus A, Friedt W, Snowdon R J, and Stich B. Seedling development in a diversity set and its relationship to agronomic performance [J]. Theor Appl Genet, 2013, 125: 1275-1287.). Theoretical and Applied Genetics

[0003] In the actual production process, the hypocotyl elongation of rapeseed is related to the yield, biomass and plant height (Luo X, Xue Z, Ma C, Hu K, Zeng Z, Dou S, Tu J, Shen J, Yi B, and Fu T. Joint genome-wide association and transcriptome sequencing reveals a complex polygenic network underlying hypocotyl elongation in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) [J]. BMC Plant Biol, 2017, 7: 41561.). Brassica napus Scientific Reports Therefore, analyzing the molecular mechanism of the shade avoidance response of rapeseed seedlings and cultivating rapeseed varieties with lodging resistance are effective methods for realizing the yield increase per unit area.

[0004] ​​​However, there are few reports on the molecular mechanism of rapeseed seedling shade avoidance response. Most of the researches are limited to phenotype statistics and population analysis, and there is little in-depth molecular analysis. The main reason is that the shading environment of rapeseed seedlings in the field is disturbed by external factors such as wind, rain, herbivorous animals and pathogenic bacteria. In addition, it is difficult to accurately control the changes of light quality. Studies have shown that the lodging traits of Brassica napus seedlings are significantly related to yield and plant height and other agronomic traits ([1] Korber N, Wittkop B, Bus A, Friedt W, Snowdon R J, and Stich B. Seedling development in a Brassica napus diversity set and its relationship to agronomic performance[J]. Theoretical and Applied Genetics , 2013, 125: 1275-1287. [2]Luo X, Xue Z, Ma C, Hu K, Zeng Z, Dou S, Tu J, Shen J, Yi B, and Fu T. Joint genome-wide association and transcriptome sequencing reveals a complex polygenic network underlying hypocotyl elongation in rapeseed ( Brassica napus L.) [J]. Scientific Reports , 2017, 7: 41561.)。

[0005] Therefore, studying the molecular mechanism of rapeseed seedling shade avoidance response and providing a theoretical basis for breeding rapeseed varieties with excellent traits such as shade tolerance and lodging resistance is of great and far-reaching significance for improving the yield per unit area of rapeseed.

[0006] The application of the gene in regulating the lodging resistance of rapeseed is disclosed in the application with the publication number CN117721140A. The gene includes the gene and the gene. The application method is to improve the lodging resistance of rapeseed by destroying the function of the gene. PRE1 PRE1 It is still of practical significance to study other genes related to the lodging resistance of rapeseed. PRE1.A07 PRE1.C06 SUMMARY PRE1
