The invention relates to a method for determining the role of the
methylation site change of potato StALDH
gene in low
temperature stress, which includes the analysis of
DNA methylation site of StALDHgene under low
temperature stress, the analysis of expression level of StALDH
gene under low
temperature stress and the analysis of NbALDH function in
plant development and response to low temperature stress. A low temperature stress response mechanism of potato is study from
epigenetics field, A method for isolate genes invol in response to low temperature stress and changes of their methylationsites was developed, Therefore, cultivating potato varieties with
cold tolerance and freeze resistance can
resist the adverse effects of sudden low temperature on potato production, broaden the research on potato tolerance to low temperature stress, and have very important theoretical basis and practical guiding significance for ensuring high yield and stable harvest of potato in China. At the same time, it provides a theoretical reference for the role of
DNA methylation modification in the response of other plants to stress.
