The invention belongs to the technical field of
genetic engineering, and relates to the field of wheat
genetic engineering, in particular to a
gene TaABCG42 for regulating and controlling
cadmium accumulation of wheat as well as an encoding
protein and application of the
gene TaABCG42. According to the invention, a TaABCG42
gene is knocked out by using
CRISPR / Cas9, a TaABCG42 gene overexpression
plant is constructed at the same time, and a homozygous
mutant is obtained by using a Hi-Tom sequencing technology and PCR (
Polymerase Chain Reaction) successive generation screening. A
wild type TaABCG42 homozygous overexpression and knockout
plant treated with a 40 [mu] mol / L Cd solution for 5 days is subjected to analysis such as
metal content determination, subcellular component
metal determination, Cd chemical form determination and Cd
ion flow determination, and the Cd absorption and transport approach of TaABCG42 is analyzed, so that the physiological and
molecular mechanism of the TaABCG42
metal transporter for absorbing and transporting Cd is explored, and the application prospect is wide. The understanding on the wheat ABC metal
transporter is enriched, and a theoretical basis is provided for cultivating high-quality wheat with low Cd accumulation.
