Abstract
A NF-YA5/miR169a module controls nitrogen utilization efficiency of plant and uses thereof. Since the NF-YA5/miR169a module enables the enhancement of the nitrogen utilization efficiency in plants, it can be advantageously used for the development of environmentally friendly and cost-effective plants that can reduce the consumption of nitrogen fertilizers while maintaining crop yields.
Claims11
A method of controlling nitrogen utilization efficiency in a plant under a nitrogen-deficient condition, the method comprising:
- controlling expression and/or activity of miR169a consisting of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 37.
A method of producing a genome-edited rice plant with enhanced nitrogen utilization efficiency under a nitrogen-deficient condition, the method comprising:
- introducing a guide RNA specific to a target nucleotide sequence of pre-miR169a derived from rice and an endonuclease protein to a rice plant cell to have genome editing;
- and
- regenerating a rice plant from the rice plant cell that is obtained after the genome editing.
A method of producing a genome-edited rice plant with enhanced nitrogen utilization efficiency under a nitrogen-deficient condition, the method comprising:
- introducing a guide RNA specific to a target nucleotide sequence of NF-YA5 gene derived from rice and an endonuclease protein to a rice plant cell to have genome editing;
- and
- regenerating a rice plant from the rice plant cell that is obtained after the genome editing.
