The application discloses a
Sapindus mume SmAP1
gene and application thereof, and the SmAP1
gene is expressed in plants to regulate the
flowering time of the plants, and the SmAP1
gene is a
nucleotide sequence shown in a sequence table Seq ID NO.1 or a
nucleotide sequence encoding an
amino acid sequence shown in a sequence table Seq ID NO.2. The application of the
Sapindus mume SmAP1 gene is used for cultivating new
Sapindus mume varieties with different flowering times. Through observation of the whole transgenic
Arabidopsis thaliana plants of 35S::SmAP1 and analysis of the
flowering time difference, overexpression of the SmAP1 gene can make the
flowering time of the plants advance to different degrees, and the flowering time, days of
bolting and the number of rosette leaves of the transgenic
Arabidopsis thaliana plants are significantly different from those of
wild type plants, which is beneficial to accelerating the breeding cycle of the Sapindus mume species and accelerating the cultivation of high-yield varieties.
