The invention discloses a CeSUC3a
gene capable of promoting early growth and multiple incidence of taro lateral corms and application of the CeSUC3a
gene, and relates to the technical field of
plant genetic engineering. The
nucleotide sequence of the CeSUC3a
gene is shown as SEQ ID NO.1. The invention also provides application of the CeSUC3a gene in cultivation of a multi-seed taro variety with early and multiple lateral corms, application of a
reagent for up-regulating CeSUC3a
gene expression in a host in cultivation of the multi-seed taro variety with early and multiple lateral corms, and the like. According to the invention, the CeSUC3a gene is overexpressed in the multi-seed taro by using a
transgenic technology, so that the relative
chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate of leaves in an overexpressed strain are improved, the lateral
corm of the overexpressed strain is promoted to grow early, the seed taro is early grown, the lateral
corm is multiple, and the seed taro is multiple grown, so that the early maturing and high yield of the overexpressed strain are promoted, and the yield of the overexpressed strain is improved. Important gene resources are provided for early screening and identification of taro early-maturing high-yield breeding materials and cultivation of early-maturing high-yield taro varieties.
