Weeds are a major biotic constraint that can cause dramatic crop production losses. Herbicide technology has been widely used by farmers as the most cost-effective weed control measure, and development of new strategy to improve herbicide tolerance in plants is urgently needed. The CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing tool has been used in diverse applications related to agricultural technology for crop improvement. Here we identified three polyamine uptake transporter () genes in rice that are homologous to the At. We successfully demonstrate that CRISPR/Cas9-targeted mutagenesis of greatly improves paraquat resistance in rice without obvious yield penalty. Therefore, manipulation of these loci could be valuable for producing transgene-free rice with improved herbicide resistance in future.

杂草是一种主要的生物限制因素,可导致农作物产量大幅损失。除草剂技术已被农民广泛用作最具成本效益的杂草控制措施,因此迫切需要开发提高植物除草剂耐受性的新策略。基于CRISPR/Cas9的基因组编辑工具已用于与农业技术相关的各种作物改良应用。在这里,我们在水稻中鉴定出三个与拟南芥同源的多胺转运体()基因。我们成功证明,对进行CRISPR/Cas9靶向诱变可大大提高水稻对百草枯的抗性,且不会对产量造成明显损失。因此,操纵这些基因座对于未来生产具有改良除草剂抗性的无转基因水稻可能具有重要价值。
