Embodiment 1

[0035] Example 1: Using the CRISPR / Cas9 system to edit the target sequence of OsGRF4 that is inhibited by miRNA396 recognition to improve the grain shape of rice

[0036] Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple food crops, feeding almost half of the world's population. The size of rice grain shape determines the yield per unit area of ​​rice and is also one of the main factors affecting grain production. OsGRF4 is a key gene regulating rice grain shape, and the expression of this gene can promote the increase of rice grain shape and increase rice yield. Previous studies have shown that miR396 can bind to and inhibit the transcriptional regulation of OsGRF 4, thereby making rice grains smaller and affecting rice yield. Based on the above background, using the strategies provided by the present invention, we use gene editing to destroy the target sequence of miR396 and screen for mutants that do not affect the function of OsGRF4 protein. By thus disrupting t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a strategy for releasing the inhibitory function of miRNA to promote the expression of target genes, and provides a specific implementation method based on genome editing technology. The recognition sequence of the miRNA target gene is edited by gene editing technology, the base substitution mutations and amino acid deletion mutations with normal function of the target gene are screened, and the mutants whose recognition sequence cannot be suppressed by the upstream miRNA is destroyed. The invention is to promote the function of the target gene Research and functional applications provide an easy and efficient way.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a method for releasing miRNA inhibition function and promoting target gene expression. Background technique [0002] MiRNA is a class of single-stranded RNA, usually 20-24nt, which plays an important post-transcriptional regulatory role in plants and animals. Small RNAs have been shown to be involved in many biological processes, including plant growth, development, stress responses, and hormone signaling. Binds to targeted mRNAs through a highly specific complementary base-pairing mechanism and mediates post-transcriptional gene silencing. Previous studies have shown that if there is an SNP in the target sequence recognized by miRNA on the target gene, it will destroy the recognition of miRNA and the inhibitory function of the target gene, thereby affecting the corresponding phenotype. It can be seen that interfering with the regulatory function of miRNA and its target gene may be...
