[0254] by delivering a Cas9 endonuclease expression cassette and a single guide RNA (either as an RNA molecule or as a DNA expression cassette) Modification of target DNA sequences in plant cell genomes
[0255] The Cas9 gene (SEQ ID NO: 1) from Streptococcus pyogenes M1GAS (SF370) was maize codon-optimized according to standard techniques known in the art and introduced into the potato ST-LS1 intron (SEQ ID NO: 2 ) in order to eliminate the expression of the gene in Escherichia coli and Agrobacterium. To facilitate the nuclear localization of Cas9 protein in maize cells, the simian virus 40 (SV40) monotype N-terminal nuclear localization signal (MAPKKKRKV, SEQ ID NO: 3) and the Agrobacterium tumefaciens bitype VirD2 T-DNA boundary A nuclease carboxy-terminal nuclear localization signal (KRPRDRHDGELGGRKRAR, SEQ ID NO: 4) was incorporated into the amino- and carboxy-terminals of the Cas9 open reading frame, respectively. The maize optimized Cas9 gene was operatively linked...

[0265] Transient delivery of guide RNA in plant cells containing a Cas9 expression cassette stably integrated in their genome
[0266] To overcome the aforementioned issues, and further evaluate the feasibility of transient sgRNA delivery, maize lines containing a pre-integrated copy of Cas9 were generated.
[0267] Agrobacterium vectors containing Cas9 endonuclease expression cassettes driven by inducible or constitutive promoters
[0268] Two Agrobacterium vectors ( figure 1 and figure 2 ) into maize to create a pre-integrated genomic copy of SpyCas9. These Agrobacterium T-DNAs also contained the embryonic END2 promoter regulating the expression of the blue fluorescent gene (Am-Cyan) as a visible marker, and an interrupted copy of the Ds-Red gene under the maize histone 2B promoter. A portion of the Ds-Red sequence is replicated in direct orientation (369 bp fragment) and consists of two segments of the Ds-Red (RF-FP) gene consisting of a 343-bp sequence containing a ...
