The application provides application of a wheat ELP2
gene in regulating resistance of wheat to
stripe rust, and belongs to the technical field of
genetic engineering. The application provides application of the wheat ELP2
gene in regulating resistance of wheat to
stripe rust, also provides a silencing fragment of the wheat ELP2
gene obtained by an amplification method, and
gene silencing of the wheat ELP2 gene is carried out by using the silencing fragment, and in the examples, overexpression plants of the ELP2 gene are constructed, it is found that the overexpression weakens the resistance of wheat to non-compatible races of
Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, the interaction relationship between ELP2 and the PAZ motif of DCL1 is verified by using
yeast double hybridization, LCI and Pull-down, meanwhile, the resistance of wheat to compatible races is enhanced and the infection of
Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is inhibited after silencing DCL1 in wheat by VIGS, therefore, the ELP2 gene plays a
disease function in the interaction between wheat and
Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici.
