Abstract
Sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus), an important ornamental plant, has been hindered in functional genomics and genetic breeding due to the lack of an efficient transformation and genome editing system. In this study, we developed a simple and efficient CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system in sweet pea using an Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated (ARM) transformation approach. We constructed a sweet pea genome editing vector, LoGE1, which incorporates a CRISPR/Cas9 system with AtU6-driven sgRNA and CaMV35S-driven Cas9 expression, along with a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter. The constructs LoGE1-PDS and LoGE1-SD1 were designed to target LoPDS and LoSD1, respectively, and were introduced into sweet pea using Agrobacterium rhizogenes K599-mediated transformation. Transformation efficiency was evaluated through GFP fluorescence, achieving 54% for LoGE1-PDS and 71% for LoGE1-SD1. Genome editing efficiency at the target sites was 71% for LoPDS and 60% for LoSD1, with various mutation patterns observed. This study provides a foundation for gene editing in sweet pea and offers a reference for developing similar systems in other ornamental plants. The first genome editing system for sweet pea was established using a simple and efficient Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated method, achieving high editing efficiency with various mutation patterns.
