The invention discloses a rape cold-resistant
gene and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
gene engineering. Four rape specific lone genes (BnaOGs) and 2859
brassica specific genes (BSGs) are identified through
comparative genomics and multi-
database artificial
verification by combining UniProt-KB, Nrdb and the like, and the characteristics of short sequence, high
GC content, no
transcription factor and the like are found. Aiming at a BSG
gene BnaA03G0334200ZS, a CDS sequence of the BSG gene BnaA03G0334200ZS is cloned, a pEGOEP35S-H overexpression vector containing a 35S strong
promoter and a hygromycin selection marker is constructed, and a positive
plant is obtained through
agrobacterium-mediated transformation of
brassica napus Westar.
Functional verification shows that overexpression of the gene remarkably enhances the
cold resistance of the rape,
plant damage is slight at low temperature, the
relative conductivity and MDA content are reduced, and the activities of SOD, POD and CAT are improved. The invention provides a new target and
technical support for cultivation of cold-resistant rape varieties, and has a wide application prospect.
