Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

20.0K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing01:28

CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing

552
The CRISPR-Cas system serves as a bacterial defense mechanism against invading genetic elements such as viruses and plasmids, forming the foundation for its adaptation as a powerful genome-editing tool. Originally discovered in prokaryotes, this system has been repurposed to revolutionize genetic engineering across a wide range of organisms, including plants, animals, and humans. The core component, Cas9, is an endonuclease derived from Streptococcus pyogenes, capable of introducing...

Transgenic Plants

7.6K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition02:35

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

22.4K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Programmable genome manipulation is crucial for biological research and crop improvement.
  • Prime editing offers precise genetic modification without DNA double-strand breaks but exhibits low efficiency in plants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the efficiency of prime editing in plants and other cell types.
  • To identify strategies for improving prime editing technology for broader applications.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated N-terminal versus C-terminal reverse transcriptase-Cas9 nickase fusions in rice.
  • Introduced multiple-nucleotide substitutions into the reverse transcriptase template.
  • Synergistically combined optimized fusion and template strategies.

Main Results:

  • N-terminal fusion demonstrated superior performance in rice compared to C-terminal fusion.
  • Multiple-nucleotide substitutions in the template significantly boosted prime editing efficiency.
  • Achieved average editing frequencies of 24.3% in rice, 6.2% in maize, and 12.5% in human cells, a 2-3 fold increase over Prime Editor 3.

Conclusions:

  • The optimized prime editing system shows significantly higher efficiency in various plant and human cell systems.
  • This enhanced approach expands the repertoire of editable target sites and broadens the utility of prime editing.
  • The findings hold promise for advancing plant breeding and genetic engineering applications.
