Abstract:

In order to promote the breeding of long-grain japonica rice varieties,two knock-out vectors,pYLCRISPR/Cas9-GS3-RNA and pYLCRISPR/Cas9-GS3-GS9-RNA,were constructed with japonica rice varieties Dongfu 139,Longjing 31 and Dongnong 427,the genes of GS3 and GS9 were edited by Agrobacterium tumefaciens in vitro.In the end,GS3,GS9 and GS3,GS9 double-gene mutations without T-DNA elements were obtained in the T2.The results showed that the grain length and 1000-grain weight of gs3 mutant plants of three varieties were significantly increased compared with those of wild type,grain width,seed setting rate and grain number per panicle did not change significantly,grain length of gs9 mutant increased significantly,and grain width decreased significantly,while 1000-grain weight,seed setting rate and grain number per panicle did not change significantly,and grain length of gs3gs9 mutant increased more than gs3 and gs9,at the same time,grain width decreased significantly,1000-grain weight increased significantly,while seed setting rate and grain number per ear did not change significantly.To sum up,three japonica rice varieties,Dongfu 139,Longjing 31 and Dongnong 427 were improved by using CRISPR/Cas9 technique,which accelerated the breeding process of new long-grain japonica rice varieties.

Key words: Rice, Grain shape, GS3, GS9, CRISPR/Cas9
