Engineering Plants for Geminivirus Resistance with CRISPR/Cas9 System.

چکیده
The CRISPR/Cas9 system is an efficient genome-editing platform for diverse eukaryotic species, including plants. Recent work harnessed CRISPR/Cas9 technology to engineer resistance to geminiviruses. Here, we discuss opportunities, emerging developments, and potential pitfalls for using this technology to engineer resistance against single and multiple geminivirus infections in plants.

A geminivirus-based guide RNA delivery system for CRISPR/Cas9 mediated plant genome editing
CRISPR/Cas has emerged as potent genome editing technology and has successfully been applied in many organisms, including several plant species. However, delivery of genome editing reagents remains a challenge in plants. Here, we report a virus-based guide RNA (gRNA) delivery system for CRISPR/Cas9 mediated plant genome editing (VIGE) that can be used to precisely target genome locations and ca...
متن کاملEngineering Plant Immunity: Using CRISPR/Cas9 to Generate Virus Resistance
Plant viruses infect many economically important crops, including wheat, cotton, maize, cassava, and other vegetables. These viruses pose a serious threat to agriculture worldwide, as decreases in cropland area per capita may cause production to fall short of that required to feed the increasing world population. Under these circumstances, conventional strategies can fail to control rapidly evo...
متن کاملGene Editing and Crop Improvement Using CRISPR-Cas9 System
Advancements in Genome editing technologies have revolutionized the fields of functional genomics and crop improvement. CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat)-Cas9 is a multipurpose technology for genetic engineering that relies on the complementarity of the guideRNA (gRNA) to a specific sequence and the Cas9 endonuclease activity. It has broadened the agricultur...
متن کاملGene Targeting by Homology-Directed Repair inRice Using a Geminivirus-Based CRISPR/Cas9 System
Rice (Oryza sativa) is the staple food for more than half of the world’s population. Technologies enabling precise and efficient DNA knock-in or replacement, hereinafter referred to as KI, have the potential to revolutionize the generation of crops by precision molecular breeding. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated Cas9 (CRISPR/Cas9) has recently emerg...
متن کاملEngineering of CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated potyvirus resistance in transgene‐free Arabidopsis plants
Members of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF) gene family, including eIF4E and its paralogue eIF(iso)4E, have previously been identified as recessive resistance alleles against various potyviruses in a range of different hosts. However, the identification and introgression of these alleles into important crop species is often limited. In this study, we utilise CRISPR/Cas9 techno...
