TEA PLANT AQUAPORIN GENE CSAQP95 AND APPLICATION THEREOF

Provided is a tea plant aguaporin gene CSAQP95 and an application thereof. The tea plant aguaporin. gene CSAQP95 has a nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: l in the sequence listing; a protein coded by the tea plant aguaporin gene CSAQP95 has an amino acid 5 sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 in the sequence listing. Expression of the tea plant aguaporin gene CSAQP95 promotes plant growth and accumulation of plant biomass. The CSAQP95 is highly expressed in terminal buds, tender leaves, and roots of tea plants. A pTCK303- CsAQP95 plasmid constructed by the gene is transformed into wild 10 type (WT) and urea uptake deficient type Arabidopsis thaliana mutant atdur3, and the biomass and yield of A. thaliana are significantly increased. Cloning and application of the gene help promote a genetic improvement process aiming at increasing the tea yield, and facilitate green, sound and sustainable development of 15 the tea industry.
