The invention relates to a sequence and functional application of an LRR (
Leucine-Rich Repeat)
acceptor protein kinase gene NtRLK2 related to the resistance of tobacco to
bacterial wilt, and belongs to the technical field of
molecular biology. According to the sequence and the functional application, through the analysis of a
gene chip, a partial segment of one LRR
acceptor protein kinase gene NtRLK2 of which the expression is up-regulated by 2 times when being induced by
ralstonia solanacearum is obtained; a full-length cDNA (
complementary Deoxyribonucleic Acid) sequence of the LRR
acceptor protein kinase gene NtRLK2 is obtained through an RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA end) technique; the gene is cloned from a high-bacterial-wilt-resistance variety line 3 of the tobacco, is used for constructing over-expression and RNAi (Ribonucleic Acid interference) expression vectors, and is transferred into a
bacterial wilt infected variety Cuibi 1# in the tobacco; indicated by
inoculation identification, the RANi of the gene obviously enhances the
disease resistance of a tobacco
plant to the
bacterial wilt; preliminarily predicted, the gene is possibly an interacting gene of an endogenous
disease-resistant gene; the expression of the
disease-resistant gene is inhibited. According to the application, a foundation is about to be laid for the bacterial-
wilt disease-resistant genetic breeding of the tobacco.
