The present invention belongs to the technical field of saline-alkali land cultivation, and specifically relates to a method for improving crop yield in saline-alkali land. The method measures the net photosynthetic rate of a crop as it changes with the photosynthetically active light quantum flux density gradient, uses Photosynthesis software to fit the leaf light response curve using a leaf drift model as a mathematical model, obtains the crop's light response curve, and calculates the crop's light saturation point (LSP). Using the LSP as a reference, a shade net with a shading ratio of X is used for shading, and the LSP value is used to calculate the optimal light intensity range for shading. The photosynthetically active radiation value is monitored in real time and compared with the optimal light intensity range for shading. Shading or non-shading is adopted based on the comparison result. When the measured value is within the optimal light intensity range for shading, shading is applied; if the measured value is below the optimal light intensity range for shading, no shading is applied; and when the measured value is above the optimal light intensity range for shading, a shade net with a higher shading ratio or an increased number of shade net layers is used to shade the crop. The present invention can maintain the photosynthesis of crops at a level close to the highest net photosynthetic rate of the day during the growth period, thereby improving the productivity of the crops.

Leaf development, especially in leafy greens, is crucial for crop productivity. In various plants, DA1, a pivotal ubiquitin receptor that negatively regulates leaf growth, and EOD1 (ENHANCER1 OF DA1), an E3 ubiquitin ligases that interacts with DA1 through its RING domain, influence organ size. In this disclosure, in lettuce (Lactuca sativa), homologs genes were identified for both DA1 and EOD1, and da1 single mutants, da1 / eod1 double mutants, and DA1 overexpressing lines (DA1ox) were created. The da1 / eod1 double mutant exhibited a striking phenotype with larger organ size, accelerated growth, and increased biomass, resulting in higher yields and rapid growth traits pivotal for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). Additionally, the da1 / eod1 double mutant displayed a pronounced ‘stay-green’ phenotype, characterized by elevated chlorophyll b levels, which implies extended shelf life, and enhanced postharvest quality, both traits indispensable for leafy vegetables in CEA settings. In contrast, the DA1ox line exhibited early senescence and diminished organ size. Based on these findings that spotlight the nuanced roles of the DA1-EOD1 module in modulating plant growth phases and its potential to revolutionize breeding strategies for improved yield and postharvest longevity in CEA-cultivated leafy greens, this disclosure provides guide RNAs for gene editing of DA1 and EOD1, and transformed lettuce having improved organ size and postharvest quality.
