We present here an analysis of recombination at targeted chromosomal 5' overhang DSB generated by the FnCas12a endonuclease in the plant, <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>. The much-studied Cas9 nuclease cleaves DNA to generate blunt-ended DSBs, but relatively less is known about the repair of other types of breaks, such as those with 5'-overhanging ends. Sequencing the repaired breaks clearly shows that the majority of repaired DSB carry small deletions and are thus repaired locally by end-joining recombination, confirmed by Nanopore sequencing of larger amplicons. Paired DSBs generate deletions at one or both cut-sites, as well as deletions and reinsertions of the deleted segment between the two cuts, visible as inversions. While differences are seen in the details, overall the deletion patterns are similar between repair at single-cut and double-cut events, notwithstanding the fact that only the former involve cohesive DNA overhangs. A strikingly different repair pattern is however observed at breaks flanked by direct repeats. This change in sequence context results in the presence of a major alternative class of repair events, corresponding to highly efficient repair by single-strand annealing recombination.</p>","PeriodicalId":20230,"journal":{"name":"Plant Direct","volume":"8 10","pages":"e70009"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11486519/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142472886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This insect with its extraoral digestion causes visible alterations (morphological and color changes) in the seeds. We aimed to obtain precise information about the extent and nature of damage in soybeans caused by <i>N. viridula</i> using nondestructive imaging methods. Two infestation conditions were applied: one with controlled numbers of pests (six insects/15 pods) and another with naturally occurring pests (samples collected from the apical part of the plant and samples from whole plants). An intact control group was also included, resulting in four treatment groups. Seed samples were analyzed by computed tomography (CT) and image color analysis under laboratory conditions. According to our CT findings, the damage caused by <i>N. viridula</i> changed the radiodensity, volume, and shape (Solidity) of the soybean seeds during the pod-filling and maturing period. Radiodensity was significantly reduced in all three damaged categories compared to the intact sample; the mean radiodensity reduction range was 49-412 HU. The seed volume also decreased significantly (25%-80% decrease), with a threefold reduction for samples exposed to regulated damage compared to natural ones. The samples exposed to natural damage showed significant but minor reduction in solidity, while samples exposed to regulated damage showed a prominent decrease (~12%). Image color analysis showed that the damaged samples were well distinguishable, and the differences were statistically verifiable. The achieved data derived from our external and internal imaging approaches contribute to a better understanding of the internal chemical processes, and CT analysis helps to understand the alteration trends of the hidden structure of seeds caused by a pest.

A general best practice for quality assessment is to rate fruit using the same individual rater or group of individual raters to reduce bias.
