Estimating the term…
The present disclosure relates to the field of wheat genetic breeding technology, and provides a gene TaCaM-3A for seed dormancy in wheat and application thereof. The full-length sequence of gene TaCaM-3A is shown in SEQ NO.1. The present disclosure identifies a gene TaCaM-3A that negatively regulating seed dormancy and sprouting resistance. Functional loss of this gene can significantly enhance sprouting resistance of wheat varieties, and increase grain length, grain width, and yield per plant. This gene has the potential to simultaneously improve sprouting resistance and yield of wheat, and has significant breeding application value in wheat sprouting-resistance breeding.
A TaCaM-3A gene for seed dormancy in wheat, wherein the TaCaM-3A gene full-length sequence comprises SEQ NO. 1.
A method for improving sprouting resistance of wheat, comprising reducing an expression level of TaCaM-3A gene in wheat or deleting function of the TaCaM-3A gene, and wherein the TaCaM-3A gene comprises the sequence of SEQ NO. 1.
A method for increasing wheat yield, comprising reducing an expression level of TaCaM-3A gene in wheat or deleting function of the TaCaM-3A gene, and wherein the TaCaM-3A gene comprises the sequence of SEQ NO. 1.
