Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of plant genetic engineering and plant disease resistance, specifically relating to rice. OsPDRA3 Application of genes in improving insect resistance in rice. Background Technology

[0002] Rice is a crucial food crop in my country, and more than half of the world's population relies on it as their staple food. Pests and diseases severely impact plant growth and crop economic benefits, making agricultural biological resistance mechanisms a priority development area and major research direction within the Life Sciences Department. The rice-brown planthopper interaction mechanism is a vital topic related to agricultural food security. Rice is my country's most important food crop, accounting for 40% of total grain production. The brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) is migratory, sucks rice sap, and has strong reproductive and adaptability capabilities. Primarily feeding on the phloem, it is one of the most destructive pests of rice, feeding on cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) and several wild rice species. It is one of the most serious and devastating pests in rice-growing areas of southern my country, causing yield reductions and even large-scale rice mortality. Since the late 1960s, the brown planthopper has risen to become a major rice pest in my country, severely impacting yields and posing a serious threat to food security. On September 15, 2020, the brown planthopper was listed as a Class A crop pest, which seriously threatens food production security.

[0003] Due to factors such as the decline in rice variety resistance caused by the pathogenic variation of brown planthoppers and the scarcity of resistant varieties, the control of brown planthoppers in agricultural production mainly relies on chemical pesticides. However, excessive application of chemical pesticides not only threatens food safety and the ecological environment but also easily leads to high pesticide resistance in brown planthoppers. Currently, developing rice insect-resistant genes is an effective way to improve rice resistance to brown planthoppers and cultivate new germplasm with high insect resistance. Brown planthopper resistance genes and resistance loci have been identified in different rice varieties; currently cloned genes include... Bph14 , Bph26 , Bph3 , Bph29 , Bph9 , Bph32 , Bph6 , Bph30 For example, the gene for resistance to brown planthoppers. Bph6 Encoding a novel, atypical LRR-like protein, this protein regulates the exocytosis of rice cell proteins by interacting with the cytosecretion complex subunit protein OsEXO70E1. Simultaneously, it integrates multiple plant hormone signals to maintain the stability of the phloem cell wall composition and structure, thereby hindering brown planthopper feeding and ultimately achieving broad-spectrum resistance to brown planthoppers. Another recently cloned brown planthopper resistance gene...Bph30 This gene encodes a novel protein containing two LRR domains. It is highly expressed in the sclerenchyma cells of rice leaf sheaths and strengthens the sclerenchyma by promoting the accumulation of cellulose and hemicellulose, thus forming a robust physical barrier that prevents brown planthoppers from penetrating the phloem to feed on sap. However, the resources of insect-resistant genes in rice are currently insufficient. Strengthening research on the molecular mechanisms of the interaction between rice and brown planthoppers can, on the one hand, elucidate the mechanisms by which brown planthoppers adapt to crop insect resistance, and on the other hand, reveal the molecular regulatory mechanisms by which crops respond to insect stress.

[0004] 《 Ospdr9 , which encodes a PDR-type ABC transporter, is induced by heavy metals, hypoxic stress and redox perturbations in rice roots" pointed out in the article, Ospdr9 Encoding a rice ABC protein with an inverted (ABC-TMS6)2 structure. Treatment with polyethylene glycol and heavy metals cadmium (20 μmol) and zinc (30 μmol) rapidly and significantly induced root oxidative damage in rice seedlings. Ospdr9 Expression. Hypoxia stress can also induce root rot in rice. Ospdr9 The expression indicates that salt stress only induced [a certain effect] at low levels. Ospdr9 Cold and heat shocks had no effect. Plant growth regulators jasmonic acid, auxin α-naphthaleneacetic acid, and cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine can also trigger [the reaction]. Ospdr9 The expression of the antioxidants dithiothreitol and ascorbic acid rapidly and significantly induced the growth of rice roots. Ospdr9 The expression of; strong oxidizing agent hydrogen peroxide can also induce Ospdr9 The expression of polyethylene glycol was increased, but the induction level was only one-third of that of the former. These results suggest that polyethylene glycol, along with heavy metal stresses such as cadmium or zinc, hypoxia stress, salt stress, plant growth regulators, and redox changes, may be involved in the response of rice roots to abiotic stresses. Ospdr9 Expression regulation.
