The application discloses
Zanthoxylum bungeanum miR167b The application belongs to the technical field of
genetic engineering, and discloses a
gene in the application of regulating
plant growth and development miR167b The application constructs an
expression vector of the
gene, and makes the
gene overexpress in tomatoes, and finds that miR167b The overexpression
plant is dwarfed, the shape of the fruit is changed, the size and weight of the fruit are significantly lower than those of the
wild type, the fruit setting rate is high, the fruit is seedless, the number of fruit chambers is reduced,
ovule abortion occurs, and no
embryo sac is formed in the interior. Further analysis finds that the indole
butyric acid content in the fruit of the overexpression
plant is increased, which indicates that miR167b The gene can regulate
auxin to induce fruit
apomixis, lays a foundation for revealing the
apomixis mechanism of
Zanthoxylum bungeanum, and provides gene resources and basis for improving the breeding strategy of woody plants, and has important theoretical value and application prospect.
