Abstract

This invention belongs to the field of plant biotechnology, specifically, it relates to the application of Arabidopsis receptor kinase FER and cytoplasmic kinase PCRK2. Receptor kinase FER is a key factor in delaying stigma senescence; its loss of function leads to accelerated degeneration of stigma papillary cells. Based on phosphoproteomics and proteomics data, cytoplasmic kinase PCRK2 was identified as a downstream regulator of FER. PCRK2 interacts with FER both in vivo and in vitro. Phenotypic analysis revealed that… PCRK2 Loss of gene function prolongs stigma lifespan, and its expression leads to premature stigma aging. PCRK2 The loss of gene function can alleviate fer‑4 The early senescence of the mutant stigma, which can improve the seed / fruit yield of the species, has promising application prospects.
