The invention discloses an application of a tobacco
cytochrome protein P450
gene, and particularly relates to an application of the tobacco
cytochrome protein P450
gene in regulation and control of tobacco
dwarfing, and the tobacco
cytochrome protein P450
gene is an NtCYP71AU50 gene and / or an NtCYP78A7 gene; the
nucleotide sequence of the NtCYP71AU50 gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, and the
nucleotide sequence of the NtCYP78A7 gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 3. According to the invention, an editing vector for knocking out NtCYP71AU50 and NtCYP78A7 genes is constructed by virtue of a
CRISPR / Cas9 mediated gene editing technology, NtCYP71AU50 and NtCYP78A7 gene editing plants are obtained after genetic transformation, and the
plant height, stem girth,
waist leaf length,
waist leaf width and leaf area of the two gene editing plants are lower than those in a control group. By regulating and controlling the growth and development process of the tobacco plants, the tobacco plants are promoted to be dwarfed, and the problem of shortage of tobacco
dwarfing resources is solved, so that application of the tobacco plants in
dwarfing close planting cultivation is promoted, the lodging resistance of the tobacco is enhanced, and possibility is provided for increasing the yield per unit area.
