Establishment of Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation and CRISPR/Cas9-guided gene editing in Elymus nutans
Elymus nutans, an allohexaploid (2n = 6x = 42) species with a StStHHYY genome, is a native perennial in the alpine grasslands of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, and has been widely used for artificial pasture and ecological restoration as a forage grass with highest yield on the plateau. Nevertheless, the lack of a stable transformation system has impeded further efforts to trait improvement of E. nutans. In the present study, we established a reliable Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation system for E. nutans, and successfully generated EnTCP4-edited plants using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The editing efficiency achieved 19.23 % in E. nutans. Knocking out EnTCP4 significantly delayed flowering and enhanced water-deficit stress resistance. This research represents a significant breakthrough in the genetic transformation and gene editing of E. nutans, laying a technological foundation to gain insight into gene functions and molecular breeding in E. nutans.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Plant Physiology is a broad-spectrum journal that welcomes high-quality submissions in all major areas of plant physiology, including plant biochemistry, functional biotechnology, computational and synthetic plant biology, growth and development, photosynthesis and respiration, transport and translocation, plant-microbe interactions, biotic and abiotic stress. Studies are welcome at all levels of integration ranging from molecules and cells to organisms and their environments and are expected to use state-of-the-art methodologies. Pure gene expression studies are not within the focus of our journal. To be considered for publication, papers must significantly contribute to the mechanistic understanding of physiological processes, and not be merely descriptive, or confirmatory of previous results. We encourage the submission of papers that explore the physiology of non-model as well as accepted model species and those that bridge basic and applied research. For instance, studies on agricultural plants that show new physiological mechanisms to improve agricultural efficiency are welcome. Studies performed under uncontrolled situations (e.g. field conditions) not providing mechanistic insight will not be considered for publication.
The Journal of Plant Physiology publishes several types of articles: Original Research Articles, Reviews, Perspectives Articles, and Short Communications. Reviews and Perspectives will be solicited by the Editors; unsolicited reviews are also welcome but only from authors with a strong track record in the field of the review. Original research papers comprise the majority of published contributions.
