ABSTRACT
White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is an important crop with high phosphorus (P) use efficiency; however, technologies for its functional genomic and molecular analyses are limited. Cluster regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) (CRISPR/Cas9) system has been applied to gene editing and function genomics in many crops, but its application in white lupin has not been well documented. Here, we adapted the CRISPR/Cas9-based multiplex genome editing system by using the native U3/U6 and ubiquitin (UBQ) promoters to drive sgRNAs and Cas9. Two target sites (T1 and T2) within the Lalb_Chr05g0223881 gene, encoding a putative trehalase, were selected to validate its efficacy in white lupin based on the Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation. We found that the T0 hairy roots were efficiently mutated at T1 and T2 with a frequency of 6.25%-35% and 50%-92.31%, respectively. The mutation types include nucleotide insertion, deletion, substitution, and complicated variant. Simultaneous mutations of the two targets were also observed with a range of 6.25%-35%. The combination of LaU6.6 promoter for sgRNA and LaUBQ12 promoter for Cas9 generated the highest frequency of homozygous/biallelic mutations at 38.46%. In addition, the target-sgRNA sequence also contributes to the editing efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in white lupin. In conclusion, our results expand the toolbox of the CRISPR/Cas9 system and benefit the basic research in white lupin.
