The invention belongs to the technical field of
plant genetic engineering and the technical field of soybean breeding, and particularly discloses application of a soybean
brassinolide inactivating
enzyme encoding
gene GmBAS1C in regulation and control of the soybean
branch number, the CDS sequence of the soybean
brassinolide inactivating
enzyme encoding
gene GmBAS1C is shown as SEQ ID No.1, the
amino acid sequence of the encoded
protein is shown as SEQ ID No.2, and the
amino acid sequence of the soybean
brassinolide inactivating
enzyme encoding
gene GmBAS1C is shown as SEQ ID No.3. The invention further discloses application of the soybean brassinolide inactivating enzyme encoding gene GmBAS1C in regulation and control of the soybean
branch number. The gene is located in an
endoplasmic reticulum, and formation and development of lateral branches are promoted by up-regulating expression quantities of genes such as brassinolide synthesis genes CPD, ROT3 and BR6OX2,
auxin response genes IAA, GH3 and SAUR and the like. The invention also discloses three homozygous gene editing mutants (KOGmBAS1C-1, KOGmBAS1C-2 and KOGmBAS1C-3) of the GmBAS1C gene, a soybean
plant containing the gene editing mutants, and a vector construction method of the soybean
plant. The invention further discloses the three homozygous gene editing mutants (KOGmBAS1C-1, KOGmBAS1C-2 and KOGmBAS1C-3) of the GmBAS1C gene. Experiments prove that the number of branches of homozygous gene editing
mutant phenotypes of the three GmBAS1C genes is remarkably increased. The invention provides a new gene target, a molecular tool and a breeding material for soybean high-
branch breeding, and has important agricultural application value.
