This invention discloses the application of the rice OsCK1a.1
gene in regulating
seed dormancy and
panicle budding resistance, belonging to the field of
plant genetic engineering technology. To achieve
panicle budding resistance breeding in rice, this invention targets the OsCK1a.1
gene, utilizes
CRISPR / Cas9
gene editing technology to construct a knockout vector for this gene, and successfully transforms it into rice, obtaining homozygous
mutant plants with the OsCK1a.1
gene knockout. Experimental results show that, compared with the control, homozygous mutants of different
mutation types exhibit significantly enhanced
seed dormancy levels and substantially improved
panicle budding resistance. Therefore, this invention, by knocking out the OsCK1a.1 gene, provides an
effective method for creating new rice varieties resistant to panicle budding, which has significant application value for ensuring high and stable rice yields.
