CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing in apple and grapevine.

TLDR
This protocol provides a stepwise protocol for the design and transfer of CRISPR–Cas9 components to apple and grapevine protoplasts, followed by verification of highly efficient targeted mutagenesis, and regeneration of plants following the plasmid-mediated delivery of components.
Abstract
The CRISPR-Cas9 genome-editing tool and the availability of whole-genome sequences from plant species have revolutionized our ability to introduce targeted mutations into important crop plants, both to explore genetic changes and to introduce new functionalities. Here, we describe protocols adapting the CRISPR-Cas9 system to apple and grapevine plants, using both plasmid-mediated genome editing and the direct delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) to achieve efficient DNA-free targeted mutations in apple and grapevine protoplasts. We provide a stepwise protocol for the design and transfer of CRISPR-Cas9 components to apple and grapevine protoplasts, followed by verification of highly efficient targeted mutagenesis, and regeneration of plants following the plasmid-mediated delivery of components. Our plasmid-mediated procedure and the direct delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 RNPs can both be utilized to modulate traits of interest with high accuracy and efficiency in apple and grapevine, and could be extended to other crop species. The complete protocol employing the direct delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 RNPs takes as little as 2-3 weeks, whereas the plasmid-mediated procedure takes >3 months to regenerate plants and study the mutations.

Optimizing the CRISPR/Cas9 system for genome editing in grape by using grape promoters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the optimized CRISPR/Cas9 vector that contained the conventional multiple sgRNA expression cassettes or the polycistronic tRNA-sgRNA cassette (PTG) by targeting the sugarrelated tonoplastic monosaccharide transporter (TMT) family members TMT1 and TMT2, and the overall editing efficiencies were higher than 10%.

TL;DR: It is shown that a relatively recent (>50 million years ago) genome-wide duplication has resulted in the transition from nine ancestral chromosomes to 17 chromosomes in the Pyreae, which partly support the monophyly of the ancestral paleohexaploidy of eudicots.

Highly efficient RNA-guided genome editing in human cells via delivery of purified Cas9 ribonucleoproteins

TL;DR: Delivery of purified recombinant Cas9 protein and guide RNA into cultured human cells including hard-to-transfect fibroblasts and pluripotent stem cells is delivered and RGEN ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) induce site-specific mutations at frequencies of up to 79%, while reducing off- target mutations associated with plasmid transfection at off-target sites.
