An Engineered Transgene Integration Platform (ETIP) is described that can be inserted randomly or at targeted locations in plant genomes to facilitate rapid selection and detection of a GOI that is perfectly targeted (both the 5′ and 3′ ends) at the ETIP genomic location. One element in the subject disclosure is the introduction of specific double stranded breaks within the ETIP. In some embodiments, an ETIP is described using zinc finger nuclease binding sites, but may utilize other targeting technologies such as meganucleases, CRISPRs, TALs, or leucine zippers. Also described are compositions of, and methods for producing, transgenic plants wherein the donor or payload DNA expresses one or more products of an exogenous nucleic acid sequence (e.g. protein or RNA) that has been stably-integrated into an ETIP in a plant cell. In embodiments, the ETIP facilitates testing of gene candidates and plant expression vectors from ideation through Development phases.

The invention provides a new CkMYB4 transcription factor and its gene. The gene originates from Leguminosae Caragana shrubs Caragana korshinskii Kom., and codes R2R3 MYB transcription factors. The full length cDNA sequence of the gene comprises 1106bps, comprises a 798bp open reading frame, and codes 266 amino acids. The cDNA sequence obtained after cloning is used for constructing a plant expression vector, and the vector is transformed into wild Arabidopis thaliana to obtain a transgenic plant. Transgenic Arabidopis thaliana lignin synthetase gene and lignin content detection results show that the gene provided by the invention can change the expression of the plant lignin synthesis gene and the lignin content.

The invention discloses application of panax japonicus transcription factor gene PjERF1, namely, application in improving the expression quantity of key enzyme genes in the biological synthesis of panax japonicus saponins, and increasing the content of saponins in panax japonicus callus. The nucleotide sequence of the PjERF1 gene is shown as SEQ ID NO: 1, and AP2 / ERF transcription factors are coded. Through the adoption of functional genomics and techniques related to metabolic engineering, a panax japonicus PjERF1 transcription factor is proved to have the effect of positively regulating the biological synthesis of panax japonicus saponins; when the panax japonicus PjERF1 transcription factor gene disclosed by the invention is established on a plant expression vector and transferred into the panax japonicus callus for over expression, the expression quantity of the key enzyme genes in the synthetic route of panax japonicus saponins is increased, and the yield of panax japonicus saponins is increased.

The invention belongs to the field of plant genetic engineering and discloses application of OsWRKY28 transcription factor gene of rice in improvement of plant disease resistance. In research of functions of the WRKY transcription factor gene OsWRKY28 of rice as shown inthe SEQ ID NO.1 by means of a reverse genetics method, the OsWRKY28 transcription factor gene is found to have positive regulation function for resistance to rice banded sclerotial blight. The OsWRKY28 transcription factor gene is planted on a proper plant expressing carrier to convert cells or rice, and resistance of obtained rice with OsWRKY28 excessive-expression transcription factor to the banded sclerotial blight is evidently improved. Accordingly, disease resistance of rice and other crops can be improved by the OsWRKY28 gene, and new varieties of transgenosis plants resistant to the banded sclerotial blight can be cultured.

The invention relates to a special plant expression vector pH2-35S-PrbcS-GS1 which comprises an arabidopsis thaliana cytoplasm glutamine synthetase gene GS1 and can improve the utilization rate of a plant nitrogen element. A method of RT-PCR is used for cloning the GS1 gene from the arabidopsis thaliana of a model plant, a photoinduction type promotor (the promotor of a a small subunit Rubisco) is used for controlling the excessive expression of the GS1 gene in a plant leaf and a leaf disc conversion method is used for transferring the GS1 gene into a pPZP221-PrbcS-Dof1 type transgene tobacco. An experiment result shows that the GS1 gene can be normally transferred in the transgene tobacco; under the nutrition condition of low nitrogen and the growing conditions of indoor irradiation for 24 hours of 2000LUX and 25 DEG C, the growing situation of the plant transferred with the single gene of Dof1 is (the expression of the gene is controlled by the photoinduction type promotor Prbcs) is a little better than that of a contrast tobacco (a wild type without transgene); after being transferred under the natural growing condition of a green house, the growing situation of the tobacco which is simultaneously transferred with the GS1 gene and the Dof1 gene shows remarkable growing advantages than that of the contrast plant; and therefore, simultaneously and excessively expressing the GS1 gene and the Dof1 gene, can improve the efficiency of the GS / GOGAT (glutamine synthetase / glutamic acid synthetase) approaches in the leaf more extensively, thereby improving the utilization rate of the plant nitrogen element. The vector can be broadly applied to the molecule breeding of crops, improving the utilization rate of the plant nitrogen element thereof and the durability to the nutrition condition of low nitrogen and being capable of obtaining a higher yield under the conditions of applying less fertilizers and even not applying the fertilizers.

This invention discloses a new coding fowl influenza hemagglutinin protein gene VAIVHA and the construction, conversion and expression of the plant carrier. This gene can be highly expressed in the plant, and the expression value can be improved more than 40 times than the wild fowl influenza hemagglutinin gene. The gene transfer plant can be directly feed on the animal, or the protein extraction and purified protein immunize the animal, and the protection result of it is good. This shows that the gene plant has the ability to prevent the fowl influenza.

The invention discloses a wheat salt-tolerant gene TaOPR, a plant expression vector pSTART-TaOPR or pXQUbi-TaOPR containing the gene, and application of the gene TaOPR and the expression vector thereof in salt-tolerant plants, particularly arabidopsis thaliana or common wheat. Proved by experiments, the salt tolerance of the transgenic plants is obviously improved.

The invention is suitable for the technical field of molecular biology, and provides a mutant gene and mutant of corn gibberellin oxidase, an expression vector and applications. The nucleotide sequence of the original gene of the corn gibberellin oxidase is shown as SEQ ID NO: 1 in a sequence table, and the nucleotide sequence of the mutant gene is shown as SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 3 in the sequence table. The mutant gene of the corn gibberellin oxidase provided by the embodiments can be used for building the plant expression vector to convert into crops such as arabidopsis thaliana; the life states such as phenotype and survival rates of transgenic arabidopsis thaliana can be observed before and after drought stress treatment; and through the indication of results, the mutant gene of the corn gibberellin oxidase can lower the plant height of plants such as the arabidopsis thaliana and can also enhance the drought tolerance of the arabidopsis thaliana and other plants.
