The invention discloses a novel beta-1,6-
glucanase, an encoding
gene thereof, and applications of the encoding
gene. The invention provides the beta-1,6-
glucanase gene belonging to the
glucoside hydrolase system, wherein the
nucleotide sequence of the beta-1,6-
glucanase gene is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, and the
protein (
amino acid) sequence of the encoded outer membrane
glucoside hydrolase is shown in SEQ ID NO.2. The beta-1,6-glucanase can effectively prevent the infection of
plant pathogenic fungi to plants. An engineered strain established by the gene realizes the
prokaryotic expression of the beta-1,6-glucanase gene, and verifies the function of the
glucoside hydrolase of the beta-1,6-glucanase gene, the result shows that GluM can effectively inhibit the
germination of rice blast spores, and decompose the rice blast spores. After the beta-1,6-glucanase gene is transplanted into the dicotyledonous model
plant arabidopsis thaliana and the monocotyledonous model
plant rice, the result shows that the obtained transgenic plants have good anti-infection effects for grey mould and rice blast.
