USE OF RICE AERENCHYMA FORMATION KEY GENE OSLSD2

摘要

Provided is the use of rice aerenchyma formation key gene OsLSD2 (Oryza sativa lysine-specific demethylase-2). The gene, with the accession number being AK111759,can be used in improving height, nitrogen use efficiency and/or production of plants. Specifically, prepared is rice with OsLSD2 gene overexpressed in roots and leaves by genetic method, with the root aerenchyma of rice plant changed. Compared with wild-type, the transgenic plants are higher,and the nitrogen use efficiency and single plant production increase by at least 30%.
