This invention discloses the application of the RlETC2 gene of Rosa laevigata in inhibiting the formation of epidermal hairs in plants. Addressing the technical challenge of harvesting and processing Rosa laevigata due to the presence of thorns and bristles on the stems, leaves, and fruits, this invention constructs the coding sequence of the RlETC2 gene into the vector pBI121, transforming it into Arabidopsis thaliana to obtain overexpressing plants. Phenotypic verification shows that the transgenic plants have significantly fewer above-ground epidermal hairs on leaves and stems than the wild type, and significantly reduced root hair length. Furthermore, the expression of endogenous epidermal hair negative regulators AtCPC, AtTRY, and AtETC1 is upregulated, while the expression of positive regulators AtGL1, AtGL3, and AtTTG1 is downregulated. In addition, this gene can enhance the scavenging capacity of reactive oxygen species in plant cells under drought and / or salt stress conditions while inhibiting epidermal hair formation, significantly improving the seed germination rate, taproot length, and plant survival rate of transgenic plants under adverse conditions.
