The invention discloses a rice OsRH3
gene and application thereof in rice
disease resistance, the
nucleotide sequence of the rice OsRH3
gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and the
nucleotide sequence of the rice OsRH3
gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO.2. The gene OsRH3 is knocked out through a
CRISPR / Cas9 technology, and a knockout
mutant osrh3 is obtained; it is found through rice blast resistance identification that compared with
wild type rice, the
mutant osrh3 is more resistant to diseases and small in
disease spot area, the number of
pyricularia grisea carried by diseased leaves is small, and it is indicated that the OsRH3 negatively regulates the resistance of rice to rice blast. The bacterial leaf
blight resistance identification finds that compared with wild rice, the
mutant osrh3 is more resistant to diseases and shorter in
disease spots, which indicates that the OsRH3 negatively regulates the resistance of the rice to the bacterial leaf
blight. The method is beneficial to cultivation of rice blast and bacterial
leaf disease resistant rice varieties, and provides a basis for later screening of high-resistance and broad-spectrum-resistance rice varieties.
