The invention discloses a method for improving
citrus canker resistance through a CsAHL15
gene and application of the CsAHL15
gene, and relates to the field of agricultural biological genes. A method for improving
citrus canker resistance through CsAHL15 comprises the following steps that 1, a citrus CsAHL15 coding sequence is cloned, and the CsAHL15 coding sequence is shown as SEQ ID No.1; (2) constructing a CsAHL15 overexpression vector; and (3) CsAHL15 overexpression vector transformation citrus, and identification is carried out to obtain a transgenic
plant with improved
canker resistance. According to the invention, the citrus CsAHL15 coding sequence is cloned, the overexpression vector is constructed, and then the citrus is transformed, so that the
canker attack degree of the obtained transgenic
plant can be maximally reduced to 40.09% of that of the existing citrus, the
canker attack degree can be obviously reduced, and the scab area can be reduced. In conclusion, the method is a potential
biological engineering technology for improving the
citrus canker resistance, and has a great value for citrus canker resistance
molecular breeding.
