The invention discloses an application of an FgGCV1
gene and a knockout
mutant thereof in prevention and control of
fusarium graminearum, and belongs to the technical field of microorganisms. The invention discloses for the first time that after the FgGCV1
gene is knocked out, generation of ascospores in the
sexual reproduction process of
fusarium graminearum can be inhibited, the
fusarium graminearum is prevented and controlled, wheat scab is prevented and controlled, and the
nucleotide sequence of the FgGCV1
gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO.1. The FgGCV1
gene deletion mutant specifically regulates and controls maturation of ascospores in the
sexual reproduction process of fusarium graminearum, and the ascospores serve as an important primary infection source of wheat scab, so that the transmission path of the wheat scab can be blocked after the FgGCV1 gene is knocked out, and the FgGCV1
gene deletion mutant plays an important role in fusarium graminearum prevention and control and green ecological prevention and control; the method is also an important resource for researching the
sexual reproduction process of filamentous ascomycetes.
