Plant Gene Editing Service (CRISPR/Cas)

1. Service Overview

Plant gene editing has become a powerful approach for studying gene function and improving crop traits. Using advanced CRISPR/Cas genome editing technology, targeted genetic modifications can be introduced efficiently and precisely.

YBioHub provides comprehensive plant gene editing services, including gene knockout, knock-in, targeted mutagenesis, and functional validation, helping researchers accelerate plant functional genomics and breeding research.

2. Principle

CRISPR/Cas technology uses a guide RNA (gRNA) to direct the Cas nuclease to a specific genomic locus. The nuclease introduces a double-strand break, which is repaired by cellular DNA repair mechanisms such as non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR). These repair processes generate targeted mutations or precise sequence insertions, enabling efficient genome modification.

3. Experimental Workflow (Simplified)

1. Target design: Design optimized gRNA targeting the gene of interest.
2. Vector construction: CRISPR/Cas editing vector assembly and validation.
3. Plant transformation: Agrobacterium-mediated or alternative transformation methods.
4. Screening & validation: Mutation detection via PCR, sequencing, and phenotype analysis.
5. Stable line generation: Selection and propagation of edited plant lines.
