After the glumes of the mature rice seeds are removed, the seeds are soaked in 70% alcohol for 1min, and the alcohol is poured off. Seeds were soaked for 40min (150r/min) with 1 drop of Tween 20 in 50% sodium hypochlorite (stock solution available chlorine concentration greater than 4%). And pouring off sodium hypochlorite, and washing for 5 times by using sterile water until the solution is clear and has no sodium hypochlorite taste. The seeds were soaked in sterile water overnight. The embryos were detached along the aleurone layer with a scalpel seed and inoculated onto callus induction medium. And after dark culture for 11 days at the temperature of 30 ℃, separating the callus from endosperm and embryo, and pre-culturing the primary callus with good bud removal state and vigorous division for 3-5 days for agrobacterium transformation.

Step 2, Poscold10: : low temperature stress treatment of GUS plants and Low temperature response Activity of Poscold10
From transgenic plant poscoled 10: : GUS plants and PUBI as a control: : in GUS plants (GUS genes are driven by a constitutive promoter corn PUBI promoter commonly used in the current genetic engineering, and the components of transgenic biological products of department of agriculture of the academy of agricultural sciences of Anhui province are preserved in a rice group in a supervision, inspection and test center), 4 strains T1 are selected to substitute for promoter activity identification. Plants growing for 30 days are respectively placed at 4 ℃ for 24h for low-temperature treatment, and parallel materials are placed in a normal growth environment at 30 ℃ as a control.
Gus staining: the material which is processed at low temperature of 4 ℃ for 24h is taken, and the root, the stem and the leaf of the material are respectively dyed and photographed. The results show that under the condition of inducing at the low temperature of 4 ℃ for 24 hours, roots, stems and leaves can be stained into obvious visible blue (see fig. 3, it needs to be noted that fig. 3 is a color picture, but a gray image is modified to adapt to the requirements of patent law, but a stained part can still be seen), and the promoter can drive the GUS gene to be strongly expressed when being treated at the temperature of 4 ℃ for 24 hours.

ACTIN upstream primer: 5'-CCTTCAACACCCCTGCTATG-3' the flow of the air in the air conditioner,
ACTIN downstream primer: 5'-CAATGCCAGGGAACATAGTG-3'
The qRT-PCR primers used for detecting GUS gene expression are as follows:
gus upstream primer: 5'-TACGGCAAAGTGTGGGTCAATAATCA-3'
Gus downstream primer: 5'-CAGGTGTTCGGCGTGGTGTAGAG-3'
The results show that in the absence of low temperature induction, poscoled 10: : the expression quantity of the GUS gene in the GUS plant is only one percent of the activity of driving GUS by PUBI, while the POscold10 expression activity is obviously improved along with low-temperature treatment, after the low-temperature treatment is carried out for 24 hours, the expression activity of POscold10 reaches nearly 40 times of that of untreated plants, and is more than half of the expression quantity of the GUBI, and the result is shown in figure 4.
