  • GmPAP2.1 gene from controlling plant disease resistance against soybean mosaic virus and uses thereof
    Patent number: 11566261
    Abstract: A method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is for enhancing disease resistance of a plant against Soybean mosaic virus compared to a non-transformant. The method may include transforming a plant cell of the plant with a recombinant vector containing a gene encoding Glycine max purple acid phosphatase 2.1 (GmPAP2.1) protein from Glycine max to overexpress the gene encoding GmPAP2.1 protein. As the GmPAP2.1 gene from Glycine max of the present invention can modulate disease resistance against Soybean mosaic virus, it is expected to be applied for development of new cultivars with enhanced resistance to Soybean mosaic virus to thereby increase soybean productivity.

  • Rice serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded gene mutants and application thereof
    Patent number: 11542482
    Abstract: The present invention discloses rice serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded gene OsSHM4 mutants and application thereof. The rice serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded gene mutants are obtained in a manner that T at a 461st position of a CDS sequence region of a wild type rice OsSHM4 gene is mutated to C, so that coded amino acids thereof are mutated from leucine to proline. A CDS sequence of the wild type rice OsSHM4 gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. After mutation of serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded genes OsSHM4, under a field experiment condition, S and Se content of rice shoots is remarkably improved without influencing biomass of rice. After wild type serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded genes OsSHM4 are genetically modified to complement the mutants, S and Se content of shoots of complemented strains is restored to that of wild type rice water planting.
