Abstract:

The key quality-regulating genes SlGLK2 and SlMYB12 were knocked out in tomato cultivars(lines)Ailsa Craig(AC),B5 and B9 using CRISPR/Cas9 binary expression vector system. Nine CRISPR/Cas9 transgenic plants for each of SlGLK2 and SlMYB12 in the AC,three CRISPR/Cas9 transgenic plants of SlGLK2 in the B5,and four CRISPR/Cas9 transgenic plants of SlMYB12 in the B9 were obtained. By sequencing the target sites,it was found that different forms of base deletion,insertion and replacement occurred at 3-4 bp upstream of PAM,mainly 1-10 bp deletion as well as single base G and T insertion. In addition,a large deletions produced between the two targets is 334 bp. Knockout of SlMYB12 in AC showed pink fruits. Knockout of SlGLK2 gene in AC showed the green shoulders of fruits were obviously lighter,and knockout of SlGLK2 gene in B5 showed no‘Green Shoulder’in tomato fruits comparing to the corresponding wild type lines. In this study,SlGLK2 and SlMYB12 gene editing plants were successfully generated in different tomato materials using CRISPR/Cas9 technology,which would provide excellent germplasm for tomato quality breeding.

Key words: tomato, genome editing, SlGLK2, SlMYB12, pink fruit, fruit with green shoulder
