Abstract
Pod shattering can lead to devastating yield loss of soybean and has been a negatively selected trait in soybean domestication and breeding. Nevertheless, a significant portion of soybean cultivars are still pod shattering-susceptible, limiting their regional and climatic adaptabilities. Here we performed genetic diagnosis on the shattering-susceptible trait of a national registered cultivar, Huachun6 (HC6), and found that HC6 carries the susceptible genotype of a candidate Pod dehiscence 1 ( PDH1 ) gene, which exists in a significant portion of soybean cultivars. We next performed genome editing on PDH1 gene by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9). In T 2 progenies, several transgene-free lines with pdh1 mutations were characterized without affecting major agronomic traits. The pdh1 mutation significantly improved the pod shattering resistance which is associated with aberrant lignin distribution in inner sclerenchyma. Our work demonstrated that precision breeding by genome editing on PDH1 holds great potential for precisely improving pod shattering resistance and adaptability of soybean cultivars.
