This invention discloses the application of the OsCAX1a gene in the breeding of cold-adapted rice varieties, belonging to the field of plant genetic engineering. The amino acid sequences of the two different spliceosome translation proteins encoded by the OsCAX1a gene are shown in SEQ ID NO.1 and SEQ ID NO.2, respectively, and the CDS sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO.3 and SEQ ID NO.4, respectively. This invention reveals that OsCAX1a is a negative regulator of rice cold stress adaptation. Knocking out the OsCAX1a gene inhibits rice growth and development in the early stages, but as the heading stage lengthens and the plant enters the low-temperature growth period, the mutant exhibits significantly better cold adaptation, ultimately manifested in an increased number of tillers and increased grain yield per plant. By selecting varieties with low expression levels of this gene or by mutating the gene through gene editing, superior cold-adapted rice varieties tolerant to low-temperature stress can be cultivated, showing promising application prospects.
