The invention belongs to the technical field of
plant breeding and discloses a PpCER1-2
gene, a vector and application of the PpCER1-2
gene in improvement of the
drought resistance of gramineous plants. The sequence of the PpCER1-2
gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. The application of the PpCER1-2 gene in improvement of the
drought resistance of the gramineous plants is provided. Experiments provethat
cuticle alkane substances of a PpCER1-2 gene transferred and ultra-expressed
Brachypodium distachyon blade are increased, the water loss of the surface of the blade is relieved, the
chlorophyll leaching rate is reduced, and the growth condition of seedlings in drought environment also proves that the PpCER1-2 gene can effectively improve the
drought resistance of the gramineous plants. The gramineous plants are important grain crops and garden green land plants, and after the drought resistance of the gramineous plants is improved by the PpCER1-2 gene, the use amount of
irrigation water can be reduced, meanwhile, the problem of
crop yield reduction caused by water shortage in the high-temperature weather in summer can be solved, and the application prospect is good.
