摘　　要：Over the last decades,much endeavor has been made to advance genome editing technology due to its promising role in both basic and synthetic biology.The breakthrough has been made in recent years with the advent of sequence-specific endonucleases,especially zinc finger nucleases（ZFNs）,transcription activator-like effector nucleases（TALENs） and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats（CRISPRs） guided nucleases（e.g.,Cas9）.In higher eukaryotic organisms,site-directed mutagenesis usually can be achieved through non-homologous end-joining（NHEJ） repair to the DNA double-strand breaks（DSBs） caused by the exogenously applied nucleases.However,site-specific gene replacement or genuine genome editing through homologous recombination（HR） repair to DSBs remains a challenge.As a proof of concept gene replacement through TALEN-based HR in rice（Oryza sativa）,we successfully produced double point mutations in rice acetolactate synthase gene（OsALS） and generated herbicide resistant rice lines by using TALENs and donor DNA carrying the desired mutations.After ballistic delivery into rice calli of TALEN construct and donor DNA,nine HR events with different genotypes of OsALS were obtained in T_0 generation at the efficiency of 1.4%—6.3%from three experiments.The HRmediated gene edits were heritable to the progeny of T_1 generation.The edited T_1 plants were as morphologically normal as the control plants while displayed strong herbicide resistance.The results demonstrate the feasibility of TALEN-mediated genome editing in rice and provide useful information for further genome editing by other nuclease-based genome editing platforms.Over the last decades,much endeavor has been made to advance genome editing technology due to its promising role in both basic and synthetic biology.The breakthrough has been made in recent years with the advent of sequence-specific endonucleases,especially zinc finger nucleases（ZFNs）,transcription activator-like effector nucleases（TALENs） and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats（CRISPRs） guided nucleases（e.g.,Cas9）.In higher eukaryotic organisms,site-directed mutagenesis usually can be achieved through non-homologous end-joining（NHEJ） repair to the DNA double-strand breaks（DSBs） caused by the exogenously applied nucleases.However,site-specific gene replacement or genuine genome editing through homologous recombination（HR） repair to DSBs remains a challenge.As a proof of concept gene replacement through TALEN-based HR in rice（Oryza sativa）,we successfully produced double point mutations in rice acetolactate synthase gene（OsALS） and generated herbicide resistant rice lines by using TALENs and donor DNA carrying the desired mutations.After ballistic delivery into rice calli of TALEN construct and donor DNA,nine HR events with different genotypes of OsALS were obtained in T_0 generation at the efficiency of 1.4%—6.3%from three experiments.The HRmediated gene edits were heritable to the progeny of T_1 generation.The edited T_1 plants were as morphologically normal as the control plants while displayed strong herbicide resistance.The results demonstrate the feasibility of TALEN-mediated genome editing in rice and provide useful information for further genome editing by other nuclease-based genome editing platforms.
