The invention provides application of a TaNAC42
gene in regulation and control of wheat stem
rust resistance, and belongs to the technical field of
gene functions. It is found for the first time that the TaNAC42
gene of wheat is related to the wheat stem
rust resistance, the TaNAC42 gene is induced to be silenced through viruses, the wheat stem
rust resistance can be enhanced, wheat plants are easier to
resist diseases, the TaNAC42 gene is over-expressed through the
agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transient over-expression technology, the wheat stem rust resistance can be weakened, the wheat plants are more susceptible to diseases, and the wheat plants are more susceptible to diseases. Namely, the TaNAC42 gene can negatively participate in regulating and controlling the resistance of the wheat to the
Puccinia graminicola, a new
target gene is provided for improved breeding of wheat
Puccinia graminicola resistance molecules, and the TaNAC42 gene has important utilization value in wheat production and breeding.
