A phosphorus-dissolving bacterium RBC25 regulated by Phosphate deficiency and application thereof are provided. The phosphorus-dissolving bacterium RBC25 is obtained by isolating from roots of soybean planted in acidic soil. The phosphorus-dissolving bacterium RBC25 belongs to Burkholderia sp., which has a dissolving capacity for insoluble inorganic phosphate and organic phosphate. The phosphorus-dissolving bacterium RBC25 is regulated by phosphate deficiency, which can effectively colonize on soybean roots under phosphate-deficient conditions, and thus promote soybean growth under low-phosphate conditions. The phosphorus-dissolving bacterium RBC25 releases dissolved phosphate by dissolving insoluble inorganic phosphate and organic phosphate, so that it helps plants to absorb insoluble phosphate. Compared with the non-inoculated control, inoculating RBC25 in greenhouses can increase the biomass and phosphorus content of soybean by 39.6% and 35.4%, respectively, and inoculating RBC25 in fields can increase the biomass and phosphorus content of soybean by 12.5% and 16.9%, respectively.

A nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.1. The gene encodes mannosyltransferase I. The gene plays an important role in the normal reproductive development of the Nilaparvata lugens (Stål). Inhibition of the function of the gene may reduce the survival rate of the Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) and hinder embryonic development. With respect to reduction of the survival rate of the Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) and hindering of embryonic development, the present invention can reduce the harm of the Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) to rice by killing the Nilaparvata lugens (Stål). By using the characteristic that the nucleotide sequence of a highly conserved target gene has no homology with the nucleotide sequence of natural enemies of the Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), RNA interference is performed at a nucleic acid level, to avoid the harm to non-target organisms such as natural enemies, thereby realizing green control of the Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) while controlling pests.
