Role of BraRGL1 in regulation of Brassica rapa bolting and flowering.

ABSTRACT: Gibberellin (GA) plays a major role in controlling Brassica rapa stalk development. As an essential negative regulator of GA signal transduction, DELLA proteins may exert significant effects on stalk development. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying this regulation remain unclear. In this study, we report highly efficient and inheritable mutagenesis using the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system in BraPDS (phytoene desaturase) and BraRGL1 (key DELLA protein) genes. We observed a loss-of-function mutation in BraRGL1 due to two amino acids in GRAS domain. The flower bud differentiation and bolting time of BraRGL1 mutants were significantly advanced. The expression of GA-regulatory protein (BraGASA6), flowering related genes (BraSOC1, Br
