Abstract
An application of maize raffinose synthase (ZrnRAFS) gene in maize to improve heat stress tolerance of crops is provided. The nucleotide sequence of the ZrnRAFS gene is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and the protein sequence encoded by the ZrnRAFS gene is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. The ZrnRAFS gene is overexpressed in plants, raffinose is synthesized by using sucrose and galactinol, which increases the content of raffinose in maize leaves and improves the heat stress tolerance of maize.
