The endogenous tRNA processing system of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing enables the expression of multiple single-guide RNA (sgRNAs) under the control of a single promoter, facilitating simultaneous multiple genome editing in an organism. Here, we evaluated the genome editing efficiency of multiple sgRNA expressions with the tRNA processing system. At first, using sgRNA of quantitative trait locus for seed dormancy 1, polycistronic tRNA-sgRNA vectors were introduced into immature embryos, and genome editing efficiency was evaluated in the transformed T<sub>1</sub> plants. In the use of three sgRNA modules, there was no difference in the efficiency of genome editing among the positions of the sgRNAs. We subsequently tested simultaneous genome editing of multiple homoeologous loci. Simultaneous expression of six sgRNAs per gene to target all homoeologous loci increased the editing efficiency of all homoeologous loci up to 100%.

Monitoring the bioluminescence from a luciferase gene under the control of a circadian promoter is indispensable for examining plant circadian systems. The bioluminescence monitoring technique was successfully applied to physiological studies of circadian rhythms in duckweed plants. It has been reported that a luciferase gene under a constitutive promoter also exhibits a bioluminescent circadian rhythm in duckweed. However, the mechanisms underlying rhythm generation remain unknown. In this study, we performed a model-based analysis to evaluate the machinery that generates the bioluminescence rhythm. We hypothesized the rhythmic factor of three aspects regarding the bioluminescence intensities of luciferase in cells: luminescence efficiency, production rate, and degradation rate. Theoretically, if the latter two are involved in rhythm generation, the difference in luciferase stability affects the amplitude and phase relations of the bioluminescence rhythm. Luciferase stability is irrelevant to these rhythm properties if only the luminescence efficiency is involved. First, we simulated the bioluminescence rhythms of two luciferases with different stabilities associated with each of three rhythmic factors. Luciferase stability was set based on the reported values for Emerald-luciferase and Emerald-luciferase-PEST. We then experimentally examined the bioluminescence rhythms of reporters of these luciferases driven by the <i>CAULIFLOWER MOSAIC VIRUS 35S</i> promoter in the duckweed <i>Lemna japonica</i>.
