USE OF GENE FOR NEGATIVELY REGULATING TOMATO LEAF PHOTOSYNTHESIS

摘要

Disclosed is the use of a gene for negatively regulating tomato leaf photosynthesis. Knocking out the Solyc05g005230 gene in a tomato can increase photosynthetic efficiency of tomato leaves. The nucleotide sequence of the gene Solyc05g005230 is as shown in SEQ ID NO:1. The content of photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids in the Solyc05g005230 gene knockout strain 5230-KO leaves is significantly increased. The main indicators of photosynthesis such as net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration of the Solyc05g005230 gene knockout strain 5230-KO leaves are significantly increased.
