Abstract: A method for improving wheat resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) by genome editing is provided, and further provided is use of TaCIPK14 protein or related biomaterial thereto in the regulation of plant resistance to FHB; the TaCIPK14 protein is TaCIPK14-4A protein (SEQ ID NO: 4), TaCIPK14-4B protein (SEQ ID NO: 5), and/or TaCIPK14-4D protein (SEQ ID NO: 6). TaCIPK14 knockout mutant plants are successfully obtained by simultaneously editing three alleles of TaCIPK14 in wheat using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology. The TaCIPK14 knockout mutant shows resistance to inoculation with FHB pathogens, and the results of evaluation of major agronomic traits confirm that the TaCIPK14 knockout mutant reserves the major agronomic traits.

Abstract: A broad-spectrum disease resistance-related protein derived from wheat and related biomaterials and use thereof are provided. The protein is selected from the group consisting of A1) a protein with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; A2) a protein having more than 80% identity to, having a same function as the protein with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, and obtained by substitutions and/or deletions and/or additions of amino acid residues thereof; and A3) a fusion protein with a same function obtained by joining a tag at N-terminus and/or C-terminus of A1) or A2). The TaCNGC5.1 overexpression lines showed significantly improved disease resistance, thus suggesting that TaCNGC5.1 may play an important role in breeding plants with improved resistance to stripe rust.
