The present invention discloses a method for rapidly obtaining a cultivated
tobacco nicotine conversion strain and its application. The method for rapidly obtaining a cultivated
tobacco nicotine conversion strain is to simultaneously knock out the genes related to
tobacco nicotine conversion by using the
CRISPR / Cas9
system, the genes being the NtNCP1 and NtNCP2 genes, the NtNCP1
gene sequence being shown in SEQ ID No.1, and the NtNCP2
gene sequence being shown in SEQ ID No.3. The present application uses the
CRISPR / Cas9-mediated
gene editing technology to simultaneously knock out the tobacco NtNCP1 and NtNCP2 genes to obtain an editing material with reduced
nicotine content and increased
nicotine reduction content, which provides
genetic materials and theoretical basis for the functional study of tobacco
nicotine conversion genes and the directional improvement of new tobacco varieties for regulating nicotine content.
