The present application belongs to the technical field of agricultural bioengineering, and relates to application of a wheat
disease resistance factor TaPKS26 in leaf
rust prevention and treatment. The CDS sequence of the coding
gene of the wheat
disease resistance factor TaPKS26 is shown as SEQ ID NO:1, and the present application adopts an
agrobacterium-mediated method to obtain a transgenic wheat strain overexpressing the
gene TaPKS26. After being infected with the physiological race THT and PHT of leaf
rust, the transgenic wheat strain overexpressing the
gene TaPKS26 is compared with Fielder wheat, and the results show that the resistance of the transgenic wheat strain to
wheat leaf rust is enhanced, and the expression amount of a
disease resistance related
marker gene is up-regulated, indicating that the wheat disease resistance factor TaPKS26 plays a positive regulation role in the defense response of wheat against leaf
rust. The present application provides a new gene resource and technical idea for breeding of a leaf rust disease resistance variety.
