The invention relates to the technical field of
biology, in particular to application of ZmMAPKKK70
protein and a coding
gene thereof in regulation and control of corn
phosphorus utilization, the ZmMAPKKK70
gene is screened out through whole
genome correlation analysis, the ZmMAPKKK70
gene is knocked out from corn through a gene editing technology, and an obtained corn
mutant material has the advantages that the corn
mutant material can be used for regulating and controlling the
phosphorus utilization of the corn in a field with
phosphate fertilizer or without
phosphate fertilizer; the
Pseudomonas aeruginosa has the advantages in a plurality of growth indexes, including stability of
leaf development, increase of
plant height and stem
diameter and improvement of final
biomass and yield, and especially shows relatively strong
adaptive capacity and growth potential under different
phosphate fertilizer supply conditions. The corn ZmMAPKKK70 is verified to negatively regulate
plant phosphorus utilization and overground
biomass, plants which are more tolerant to a low-phosphorus environment and larger in overground
biomass are obtained, gene resources are provided for new variety cultivation, and
mutant materials have wide agricultural application potential, are particularly suitable for farmland environments with
limited resources and insufficient
phosphate fertilizer supply and have broad application prospects. Meanwhile, the obvious high-yield potential is also shown under the condition that the
phosphate fertilizer is sufficient.
