The invention provides an OsWRKY19
gene and an application of the OsWRKY19
gene in resistance to cochliobolus miyabeanus of rice. A
CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) / Cas9 (
CRISPR associated
protein 9) technology is adopted to obtain an OsWRKY19 knockout
mutant (Oswrky19) and an overexpression strain of And after the cochliobolus miyabeanus
pathogenic bacteria are inoculated, compared with a
wild type, the knockout
mutant is more susceptible to diseases, and the over-expression
strain resistance is obviously enhanced. The OsWRKY19 overexpression obviously improves the
callose deposition level after
rice plants are induced by
chitin, and further enhances the basic defensive reaction of rice. RT-qPCR discovers that the expression of the defensive reaction
related gene OsMBL1 in a knockout
mutant is reduced and is increased in an overexpression
plant, which indicates that the OsWRKY19 can promote the expression of the OsMBL1, thereby enhancing the resistance of rice. In conclusion, the OsWRKY19 is a
gene for positively regulating and controlling the resistance of the cochliobolus miyabeanus of the rice, and can promote the basic defense response of the rice and the expression of a
disease-resistant
related gene, so that the resistance of the rice to the cochliobolus miyabeanus is improved. The content of the invention provides important
genetic resources and theoretical guidance for the breeding of the cochliobolus miyabeanus resistant variety of rice.
