The invention discloses a
gene for promoting low-
nitrogen efficient utilization of rice and enlarging grains and application of the
gene. The
gene is derived from rice and is named as OsUGT, and the
nucleotide sequence of the gene is shown as SEQ ID NO.1; the
amino acid sequence of the
protein coded by the gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 2. The invention provides a construction method of an OsUGT gene overexpressed transgenic rice strain, which comprises the following steps: constructing pRHVc-OsUGT recombinant plasmids, transforming the pRHVc-OsUGT recombinant plasmids into calluses through an
agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated method, and screening resistant calluses and regenerating plants to obtain the OsUGT gene overexpressed rice. The OsUGT gene is overexpressed in a
rice plant by adopting a pRHVc vector through a
transgenic technology, so that the
nitrogen utilization efficiency of the
plant in a medium-
low nitrogen stress environment can be remarkably improved, grain enlargement and
grain weight increase can be effectively promoted, stable improvement of the
crop yield under a low-
nitrogen condition is realized, and the technical effect is clear and efficient.
