Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of plant genetic engineering and crop breeding technology, specifically relating to wheat lectin receptor kinase TaSIT2 and its encoding gene. TaSIT2 Applications in improving crop resistance to stripe rust. Background Technology

[0002] wheat( Triticum aestivum L. Wheat is an important food crop. Wheat stripe rust is one of the most important wheat diseases. Wheat stripe rust is caused by the wheat-specific strain of *Striga styracifolium*. Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici , Pst Wheat stripe rust, a fungal disease caused by *Strombus heliotropium indicum*, is characterized by rapid spread, wide range of damage, and severe losses. *Strombus heliotropium indicum* is a live obligate parasite that thrives in cool, humid environments and can spread long distances via high-altitude air currents. Due to its complex life cycle, frequent variations in virulence, and the continuous emergence of new pathogenic races, controlling wheat stripe rust is extremely difficult. Currently, breeding and promoting new wheat varieties resistant to stripe rust is the most economical and environmentally friendly approach to controlling the disease. Therefore, identifying resistance-related genes, deeply analyzing the pathogenic mechanism of *Strombus heliotropium indicum* and the wheat's own resistance mechanism to stripe rust, and ultimately creating durable resistant materials are of great significance for the genetic improvement of wheat resistance to stripe rust.

[0003] Plant lectin receptor-like kinases (LecRLKs) belong to the plant membrane protein receptor kinase class. LecRLKs are mainly composed of extracellular lectin domains, transmembrane domains, and intracellular kinase domains. Based on the specificity of the extracellular domains, they are classified into G-type, L-type, and C-type. RLKs sense external signals through receptors on the cell surface, transmit them to downstream effector molecules, and initiate signal transduction. They also activate or inhibit other target proteins through phosphorylation modification, participating in the regulation of life processes such as cell growth, differentiation, immune response, neural signal transduction, and apoptosis. Therefore, RLKs play a key role in plants' response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Existing studies have confirmed that RLKs are PRRs in plant-pathogen interactions, exhibiting high sensitivity to pathogen recognition. Their extracellular lectin domains are highly variable, capable of recognizing biological stress signaling molecules from bacteria, fungi, and other organisms. They can transmit external PAMP molecular signals into the cell, thereby triggering a series of immune responses, including ROS burst, MAPK activation, callose deposition, calcium ion influx, and salicylic acid accumulation. Therefore, the role of RLKs in participating in plant responses to pathogens can be utilized to improve plant disease resistance, which is of great significance for the breeding of high-yielding and disease-resistant varieties.
