The invention discloses a
promoter pTCP17 for regulating and controlling the number of grains per ear of rice and application of the
promoter pTCP17. In particular discloses
a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule with a
nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No.1 and application of the
DNA molecule as a
promoter. The invention further discloses application of the promoter and related
biological materials thereof in regulation and control of the
grain number per ear of rice. The
DNA molecule (SEQ ID No.1) provided by the invention has the function of a promoter, and mononucleotide
mutation in
a DNA sequence of the
DNA molecule specifically regulates the expression quantity of a
target gene in a
panicle, and is specifically expressed in a rice stem base and a young
panicle. The invention has important theoretical and practical significance on research of a
rice grain number regulation
molecular mechanism and rice
molecular breeding, the rice quality is improved through
rice grain number improvement
molecular breeding, different requirements of consumers can be met, the competitiveness of products in the market is improved, and the application prospect is wide. Wide application and market prospects are realized in the agricultural field.
