The application discloses a sorghum double-grain trait related gene DG1 and application thereof. The application provides application of any one of the following A1) to A3) in regulation of plant ear grain number, regulation of plant yield and / or cultivation of multiple-grain plants: A1), a protein DG1; A2), a nucleic acid molecule encoding the protein DG1; and A3), a recombinant carrier, an expression cassette or a recombinant bacterium containing the nucleic acid molecule encoding the protein DG1. The application finds that the protein DG1 is a gene for regulating plant ear grain number, overexpression of the gene can increase the plant ear grain number, make the sorghum multiple-grain and realize high yield.

This invention discloses the sorghum double-grain trait gene SbDG2 and its application in regulating double-grain sorghum formation. This invention provides the application of any one of the following substances (A1)-A3) in any one of the following (E1)-E4): E1) regulating the number of grains per spike; E2) regulating plant yield; E3) regulating the development of spikelet florets; E4) regulating the formation of double seeds per spikelet; A1) protein SBDG2; A2) nucleic acid molecule encoding protein SBDG2; A3) recombinant vector, expression cassette, or recombinant bacteria containing a nucleic acid molecule encoding protein SBDG2. This invention clones a gene SbDG2 that controls the double-grain trait in sorghum, and genetic breeding using this gene can effectively increase the number of grains per spike and the yield of sorghum.
