Abstract: A method for controlling drought stress tolerance of a plant includes transforming a cell of the plant with a recombinant vector which includes a gene encoding Oryza sativa-derived DIAT (Drought-Induced AminoTransferase) protein to control expression of the gene encoding the DIAT protein. As the drought stress tolerance of a plant can be enhanced by the DIAT gene of the present invention, it is expected that a plant having drought stress tolerance is developed and used for enhancement of the productivity of crops.

Abstract: The present application discloses an application of OsAO gene for improving rice resistance to rice stripe disease, rice black-streaked dwarf disease or other rice or corn virus diseases caused by homologous virus of rice black-streaked dwarf virus. The present application also provides an application of OsAO gene, the protein encoded by the gene or a recombinant vector containing the gene in regulating plant resistance to rice stripe disease, rice black-streaked dwarf disease or other rice and corn virus diseases caused by homologous virus of rice black-streaked dwarf virus, said protein has the amino acid sequence as shown in Seq 4. The experiment proved that the plant disease resistance is increased in rice overexpressing OsAO gene, indicating that the OsAO protein encoded by this gene plays an important role in rice resistance to rice stripe disease and rice black-streaked dwarf disease.
