Abstract

【Objective】In the last century, the usage of semi-dwarfrice varieties brought about significant improvements and great achievements inrice breeding.Most of the semi-dwarfrice varieties have loss-of-function mutations in the Semi-Dwarf1 (SD1) gene.In order to obtain sd1 mutant, targeted editing of SD1 gene was performed. 【Method】SD1 gene editing vector CRISPR-SD1 was constructed by using CRISPR/Cas9 system, and transformed into two rice restore linesShenfan17 and Shenfan24 by the Agrobacterium-mediated method.【Result】 Homozygous sd1 mutants were obtained in T0 generation in both varieties, and vector-free sd1 mutant lines were segregated from the T1 population. The plant heights of the two sd1 mutants were decreased by 25% as compared with those of their wild types. 【Conclusion】CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful tool for rice target gene editing, and has enormous potential in rice molecular breeding.
