Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of MtNAC33 gene and a protein encoded thereby in the cultivation of high-biomass and drought-tolerant alfalfa, belonging to the technical field of plant genetic engineering. The plant protein encoded by MtNAC33 gene has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2, and MtNAC33 gene has the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1. In the present invention, the drought tolerance ofand alfalfa can be significantly improved by regulating the expression level of MtNAC33 in alfalfa. The phenotypes of delayed flowering, increased leaf-to-stem ratio and more biomass in alfalfa were also developed, which has an important effect for genetic improvement of stress resistance and biomass of forage grass and other crops.
