The present application relates to the technical field of
genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a
salicylic acid glycosyltransferase and use thereof. The present application finds a new
gene (
nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 3) in highland barley, the
protein (
amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 4) expressed by the
gene can convert
salicylic acid into
salicylic acid glucoside, and improve the level of highland barley resistance to
powdery mildew. The present application also performs in-vitro expression on the
gene fragment, obtains the salicylic acid
glycosyltransferase, and successfully prepares salicylic acid
glucoside by taking glucose as a
glycosyl donor and salicylic acid as a
receptor in an in-vitro reaction. The present application also transfers the gene into tobacco, so that the salicylic acid
glycosyltransferase is also expressed in the tobacco
plant, further produces salicylic acid
glucoside, and improves the value. The new gene, the recombinant vector, the recombinant
bacteria, the
protein and the transgenic
plant provided by the present application all have good application prospects.
