A Comprehensive Protocol for Assembly of Multiple gRNAs into a Direct Vector for Genome Editing in Tomato

Methods Mol Biol. 2024:2788:317-335. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3782-1_19.

Abstract

The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)-Cas 9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9) is a robust DNA-encoded, RNA-mediated sequence-specific nuclease system widely used for genome editing of various plants. Although there are many reports on the assembly of gRNAs and plant transformation, there is no single resource for the complete gene editing methodology in tomato. This chapter provides a comprehensive protocol for designing gRNAs, their assembly into the vector, plant transformation, and final mutant analysis in tomato.

Keywords: CRISPR Cas9; Multiple gRNA; Plant tissue culture; Plant transformation.
