The invention relates to a cotton drought resistant gene GhEXP1 and applications thereof, and belongs to the biology technical field. The related gene GhEXP1 is a cotton expansin gene and is reported for the first time. The gene is cloned from an upland cotton draught resistant species (Ao 3503), and through RT-PCR analysis, people find that the expression of GhEXP1 is up-regulated after a drought treatment. The drought resistant performance of strains containing silenced GhEXP1 gene is obviously reduced. The living rate of GhEXP1 transgene arabidopsis plants is 80% after a 30-day drought treatment; while the living rate of referential wild arabidopsis is 10%; and the result shows that the GhEXP1 gene can prominently improve the drought resistant performance of plants. The GhEXP1 gene is advantageously used for improving the plant drought resistance and has a wide application prospect.

Provided is a prokaryotic expansin protein capable of expanding cellulose. The prokaryotic expansin protein performs the same function as existing plant expansin proteins. The prokaryotic expansin protein can be produced at greatly reduced cost on an industrial scale, unlike plant expansin proteins.
