The present invention discloses the use of a flavonoid glycoside and glycosyltransferase gene thereof in regulating plant resistance to weeds. The present invention provides the use of tricin-5-O-glucopyranoside in any one of the following: regulating plant allelopathy; regulating plant resistance to weeds; inhibiting the growth of weeds, and the use of Os07g0503900 protein or related biological materials thereof in any one of the following: regulating plant allelopathy; regulating plant resistance to weeds; regulating the content of tricin-5-O-glucopyranoside in plants; catalyzing the glycosylation of tricin to generate tricin-5-O-glucopyranoside; act as or preparing glycosylation transferase; inhibiting the growth of weeds. The present invention is of great significance for developing environment-friendly green pesticides, cultivating rice varieties with high allelopathy and regulating the biosynthesis of tricin-5-O-glucopyranoside, and provides theoretical guidance for the control of weeds in paddy fields.
