The application discloses application of a potato
auxin response
gene StSAUR30231 in inhibition of enzymatic
browning of fresh-
cut potatoes and belongs to the technical field of
molecular genetics. The
nucleotide sequence of the StSAUR30231
gene is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1, and the
amino acid sequence encoded by the StSAUR30231
gene is shown as SEQ ID NO. 2. In the application, the StSAUR30231 gene is connected to an
expression vector, and the potato is transformed by using an
agrobacterium infection. Data show that overexpression of the StSAUR30231 gene can significantly improve the
browning resistance of the potato. Meanwhile, a homozygous
mutant of the gene is obtained by using a
CRISPR-Cas9 technology. Results show that overexpression of the StSAUR30231 significantly reduces the
browning of the fresh-
cut potato, and the browning resistance of the
mutant is significantly lower than that of the
wild type. The StSAUR30231 gene provided by the application can provide a theoretical basis for cultivating new varieties of excellent crops, and has great significance in production practice.
