Abstract
Doubled haploid (DH) production accelerates the development of homozygous lines in a single generation. In maize, haploids are widely produced by the use of haploid inducer Stock 6, earlier reported in 1959. Three independent studies reported haploid induction in maize which is triggered due to a 4 bp frame-shift mutation in matrilineal (ZmPLA1) gene. The present study was focused on the generation of mutants for ZmPLA1 gene in maize inbred line LM13 through site-directed mutagenesis via CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex method to increase the haploid induction rate. Three single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) for the ZmPLA1 gene locus were used for transforming the 14 days old immature embryos via bombardment. 373 regenerated plants were subjected to mutation detection followed by Sanger's sequencing. Out of three putative mutants identified, one mutant depicted one base pair substitution and one base pair deletion at the target site.
期刊介绍:
GM Crops & Food - Biotechnology in Agriculture and the Food Chain aims to publish high quality research papers, reviews, and commentaries on a wide range of topics involving genetically modified (GM) crops in agriculture and genetically modified food. The journal provides a platform for research papers addressing fundamental questions in the development, testing, and application of transgenic crops. The journal further covers topics relating to socio-economic issues, commercialization, trade and societal issues. GM Crops & Food aims to provide an international forum on all issues related to GM crops, especially toward meaningful communication between scientists and policy-makers.
GM Crops & Food will publish relevant and high-impact original research with a special focus on novelty-driven studies with the potential for application. The journal also publishes authoritative review articles on current research and policy initiatives, and commentary on broad perspectives regarding genetically modified crops. The journal serves a wide readership including scientists, breeders, and policy-makers, as well as a wider community of readers (educators, policy makers, scholars, science writers and students) interested in agriculture, medicine, biotechnology, investment, and technology transfer.
