Creation of Low Phytate Pea Lines Using CRISPR/Cas9-assisted Transformation

Original language description

This work is focused on the development of pea (Pisum sativum L.) breeding lines with low phytic acid (lpa) content. Phytic acid is an antinutritional factor causing decreased bioavailability of mineral elements, inefficient feed utilization and increased phosphate content in excrement. Three different constructs suitable for CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology were created, each of them targeting a different region of myo-inositol-3-phosphate synthase (mips) gene. These constructs have been used for pea agrobacterial transformation with high virulent EHA105 and GV3101 strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Screening of putative transformants has been performed by GUS staining during four selection cycles based on nptII gene (resistance to kanamycin). DNA samples isolated from GUS-positive transformants have been analysed by PCR amplification and subsequent restriction. According to observed transient expression of uidA reporter gene in transformed explants of tested pea varieties (Eso, Protecta and Trendy), Eso variety and pVO108 construct were selected for further transformations. In total 16 transformations using either individual constructs or a mixture of 2–3 constructs were carried out up to now. From over 7000 transformed node explants almost 400 were GUS positive, approximately 200 explants were tested by PCR and several selected samples were sequenced. By optimizing the individual steps, a protocol for successful pea agrobacterial transformation of the Eso variety was obtained. Our goal is to create transgenic lpa lines, which, however depend on the successful selection of a non-chimeric shoot in in vitro culture.
