Gene Editing for Plant Resistance to Abiotic Factors: A Systematic Review. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:plants12020305. [PMID: 36679018 PMCID: PMC9860801 DOI: 10.3390/plants12020305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Agricultural crops are exposed to various abiotic stresses, such as salinity, water deficits, temperature extremes, floods, radiation, and metal toxicity. To overcome these challenges, breeding programs seek to improve methods and techniques. Gene editing by Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-CRISPR/Cas-is a versatile tool for editing in all layers of the central dogma with focus on the development of cultivars of plants resistant or tolerant to multiple biotic or abiotic stresses. This systematic review (SR) brings new contributions to the study of the use of CRISPR/Cas in gene editing for tolerance to abiotic stress in plants. Articles deposited in different electronic databases, using a search string and predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, were evaluated. This SR demonstrates that the CRISPR/Cas system has been applied to several plant species to promote tolerance to the main abiotic stresses. Among the most studied crops are rice and Arabidopsis thaliana, an important staple food for the population, and a model plant in genetics/biotechnology, respectively, and more recently tomato, whose number of studies has increased since 2021. Most studies were conducted in Asia, specifically in China. The Cas9 enzyme is used in most articles, and only Cas12a is used as an additional gene editing tool in plants. Ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) have emerged as a DNA-free strategy for genome editing without exogenous DNA. This SR also identifies several genes edited by CRISPR/Cas, and it also shows that plant responses to stress factors are mediated by many complex-signaling pathways. In addition, the quality of the articles included in this SR was validated by a risk of bias analysis. The information gathered in this SR helps to understand the current state of CRISPR/Cas in the editing of genes and noncoding sequences, which plays a key role in the regulation of various biological processes and the tolerance to multiple abiotic stresses, with potential for use in plant genetic improvement programs.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:996690. [PMID: 36589115 PMCID: PMC9800923 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.996690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Paeonia lactiflora Pall. is an important ornamental plant with high economic and medicinal value, which has considerable development prospects worldwide. The lack of efficient tissue culture techniques and genetic transformation systems has become a master obstacle for P. lactiflora research. The purpose of the present study focuses on obtaining an efficient and stable genetic transformation method using callus as the receptor and exploring an efficient protocol for callus induction and proliferation associated with P. lactiflora. Callus induction and proliferation were performed using MS medium with various concentrations of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BA) and thidiazuron (TDZ). The sensitivity of callus to kanamycin and cefotaxime was determined. Several parameters such as Agrobacterium cell density, infection time and co-culture duration were studied to optimize transformation efficiency. Agrobacterium strains EHA105 and pBI121 binary vector harboring the β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene were used for transformation. Expression of the GUS reporter gene was detected by GUS assay, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Quantitative Real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). The MS medium containing 1.0 mg·L-1 NAA, 0.5 mg·L-1 2,4-D and 0.5 mg·L-1 TDZ was optimal for callus induction and MS medium containing 0.5 mg·L-1 NAA, 1.0 mg·L-1 2,4-D and 0.5 mg·L-1 TDZ was the best for callus proliferation. The concentrations of kanamycin and cefotaxime used for screening positive callus were 125 mg·L-1 and 200 mg·L-1, respectively. Among various combinations analyzed, the best transformation result was obtained via the 25 min of infection of Agrobacterium at 0.6 OD600 and 3 d of co-culture. Overall, this study provided technical support and theoretical guidance for improving the callus induction and proliferation efficiency and the study of gene function in P. lactiflora.
