METHOD FOR PRODUCING PLANTS WITH ENHANCED CAROTENOID CONTENT USING CRISPR/CAS9-MEDIATED GENE EDITING

Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
The present disclosure relates to a method for producing plants with an enhanced carotenoid content using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing. It was confirmed that transformed rice was produced using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, in which rice-derived Oryza sativa carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1 (OsCCD1), Oryza sativa carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 4a (OsCCD4a), and Oryza sativa carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 4b (OsCCD4b) genes were deleted, and the carotenoid content was enhanced in the produced transformed rice. Therefore, the present disclosure can be used for producing plants with an enhanced carotenoid content.
