The invention belongs to the technical field of
gene engineering, and particularly relates to application of a TaHsfC3-4
gene in wheat salt tolerance improvement. The registration number of the
gene TaHsfC3-4 is OQ680124.1, the gene TaHsfC3-4 has a remarkable effect in regulating and controlling the salt tolerance of wheat, the wheat gene TaHsfC3-4 is knocked out through a
CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing technology, a homozygous
mutant of the wheat gene TaHsfC3-4 is obtained, after salt stress treatment, the
phenotype and the physiological index of the TaHsfC3-4
gene knockout mutant are superior to those of a
wild type Fielder, and the gene TaHsfC3-4
gene knockout mutant has the advantages that the gene TaHsfC3-4
gene knockout mutant can be used for regulating and controlling the salt tolerance of wheat. The wheat TaHsfC3-4
gene mutant has the specific expression that dry leaves of the mutant after salt stress treatment are few, the growth vigor is good, and the
relative conductivity and
malondialdehyde content of the leaves are lower, so that the
oxidation resistance of the
leaf cell membrane of the wheat TaHsfC3-4
gene mutant is improved, the integrity of the
cell membrane is better, and the salt tolerance of the mutant is enhanced. The invention provides a new method for rapidly creating a new salt-tolerant wheat variety.
