The invention belongs to the technical field of
genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a method for creating a corn
dwarfing material and application of the corn
dwarfing material. The invention discloses a method for creating a corn
dwarfing material, which specifically comprises the following steps: carrying out specific key site editing on a
target gene ZmGA20ox3 and / or ZmGA20ox5 in corn by using a
genetic engineering means, and carrying out specific
amino acid site
mutation on a
protein coded by the
target gene ZmGA20ox3 and / or ZmGA20ox5 subjected to specific key site editing, and further cultivating and screening to obtain the corn dwarfing material. The method provided by the invention can be used for cultivating transgenic corn plants with different
plant heights and other agronomic traits, and meanwhile, a new breeding technical scheme is provided for creating dwarf corn, reducing the height of a corn ear, reducing the included angle of corn
plant leaves and increasing the corn yield; crops can be more densely planted in
agriculture, so that the yield of the crops in unit area is improved, and the method has important breeding significance.
