Efficient genome editing in grapevine using CRISPR/LbCas12a system.

ABSTRACT: Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) /Cas12a system, also known as CRISPR/Cpf1, has been successfully harnessed for genome engineering in many plants, but not in grapevine yet. Here we developed and demonstrated the efficacy of CRISPR/Cas12a from Lachnospiraceae bacterium ND2006 (LbCas12a) in inducing targeted mutagenesis by targeting the tonoplastic monosaccharide transporter1 (TMT1) and dihydroflavonol-4-reductase 1 (DFR1) genes in 41B cells. Knockout of DFR1 gene altered flavonoid accumulation in dfr1 mutant cells. Heat treatment (34℃) improved the editing efficiencies of CRISPR/LbCas12a system, and the editing efficiencies of TMT1-crRNA1 and TMT1-crRNA2 increased from 35.3% to 44.6% and 29.9% to 37.3% after heat treatment, respectively. Moreover, the seque
