The application discloses a
gene for regulating grape fruit
ripening and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
plant genetic engineering. The VvNAC86
gene is cloned from grape fruit, and the
nucleotide sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO:1. The overexpression vector of the
gene is constructed, the
agrobacterium is transformed by
heat shock, and the
engineering strain available for
plant transformation is obtained. Genetic transformation is carried out on grape fruit, tobacco and grape
callus respectively. The results show that overexpression of VvNAC86 can make grape fruit color 7-10 days in advance, and the soluble
solid content is increased by about 40%; the transgenic tobacco has a significantly increased
plant height, and the initial flowering period is in advance; the transgenic grape
callus matures faster, the color is deeper, and the gray value is significantly lower than that of the
wild type. It is proved that VvNAC86 has a function of significantly promoting plant maturation, and the effect is stable in multiple systems, so the application can be applied to grape
early maturation molecular breeding, and the breeding cycle can be effectively shortened, the cultivation cost can be reduced, and the economic benefit can be improved.
