The invention discloses a function and application of SiDRe1 for regulating and controlling the
drought resistance of millet, and aims at solving the technical problem of how to improve the
drought resistance of the millet. Specifically disclosed are applications of a
protein, a substance for knocking out or inhibiting or reducing or down-regulating expression of a coding
gene of the
protein, or a substance for knocking out or inhibiting or reducing or down-regulating activity or content of the
protein in any one of the following: A1) an application in improving
drought resistance of green bristlegrass plants; a2) application in preparation of products for improving drought resistance of green bristlegrass plants; a4)
plant breeding and / or preparation of
plant breeding products; the protein is any one of the following: B1) a protein with an
amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID No.3; b2) a protein which is obtained by substitution and / or deletion and / or addition of
amino acid residues of the protein B1), has 80% or more of identity with the protein B1) and has the same function as the protein B1); and B3) a
fusion protein obtained by connecting the N terminal or / and the C terminal of B1) or B2) with a
protein tag. The drought resistance of the millet can be improved by inhibiting or reducing or down-regulating the expression of the GmPHD6
gene of the millet, and the GmPHD6
gene can be used for production.
