摘  要:
Intron-targeted gene insertion strategy using CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated Cas9) has been shown to be a potential tool for crop genetic improvement by targeted mutagenesis or gene replacement of an elite allele into widely cultivated rice varieties. The rice blast resistant protein Pi-ta, differs from its susceptible counterpart, pi-ta, by a single amino acid in exon 2. To create new materials resistant to the rice blast disease, we inserted a genomic fragment containing the exon 2 and 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of Pi-ta into intron 1 of pi-ta in rice materials susceptible to rice blast using the intron-targeted insertion strategy. The gene insertion frequency was 3.8%. Several novel transgene-free progeny with stably inherited homozygous insert were identified in the T-1 generation, which have been crossed to rice germplasm bearing other resistance gene (R gene) for pyramiding of R genes. This work verified the feasibility of using the genome editing technology in improvement of qualitative agronomic trait in crops.
