The invention relates to the field of
genetic engineering breeding and
molecular breeding, and particularly discloses application of ZmMIR319A in regulation and control of
heat resistance of corn. According to the invention, corn ZmMIR319A is knocked out by using a
gene editing technology, three different types of
gene knockout mutants are created, and a ZmMIR319A overexpression material is created at the same time. At the
normal growth temperature (25-28 DEG C) of corn, the ZmMIR319A knockout
mutant and the overexpression material do not show
temperature sensitivity to the
wild type, but at the high temperature (45 DEG C), compared with the
wild type, the ZmMIR319A
mutant is more sensitive to high
temperature stress, and the sensitivity of the ZmMIR319A overexpression material to the high
temperature stress is reduced, which indicates that the ZmMIR319A positively regulates and controls the high
temperature stress resistance of the corn. The invention provides reference for studying the high-temperature-resistant stress
molecular mechanism of the corn, and provides potential
gene resources for cultivating excellent new
germplasm of the high-temperature-resistant corn.
