ABSTRACT
Transcription activator-like effector (TALE) is a DNA-binding domain that can be paired with a nuclease to create DNA double-strand breaks, or with an effector protein to alter gene transcription. The ability to precisely alter plant genomes and transcriptomes has provided many insights into gene function and has recently been utilized for crop improvement. Easy design and construction of TALE make the tool more accessible to a variety of researchers. Here, we describe two TALE-based systems transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN), for creating targeted mutations in a gene of interest, and multiplex TALE activation (mTALE-Act), for activating one or a few genes of interest at the transcription level. Assembly of these tools is based on Golden Gate cloning and Gateway recombination, which are cost-effective and streamlined cloning methods.
