Application method in rice callus differentiation based on oryza sativa leafy cotyledon 1 gene

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an application method in rice callus differentiation based on an Oryza sativa Leafy Cotyledon 1 (OsLEC1) gene, including the steps of: selecting guide ribonucleic acid (gRNA) target sites; cloning tandem fragments including gRNA; ligating each gRNA fragment; performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification on a ligation product; performing enzyme digestion on the purified product and a target vector; transforming the ligated vector; performing Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of rice; and screening and identifying transgenetic plants. In the present disclosure, the differentiation of callus directly affects the emergence efficiency of transgenic plants. The knockout of OsLEC1 can promote the differentiation of rice callus, suggesting that OsLEC1 can serve as an important target gene for improving the transformation efficiency of rice and even gramineous crops. OsLEC1 can be used as a starting point to construct various molecular tools to enhance transformation efficiency.
