[0097] (II) Transformation of barley embryos using gene editing vectors
[0098] As described in Example 1, after 3 days of pretreatment, the buds that have grown out of the embryos were cut off, and the embryos were incised with a scalpel to create wounds. The prepared mixed bacterial solution containing Tau-Cas9-pds Agrobacterium was added, and the embryos were shaken at 200 rpm for 40 minutes. The bacterial solution was then aspirated, and the embryos were placed on sterile filter paper to dry off the excess bacterial solution. The embryos were then transferred to a healing medium containing 200 μmol / L acetylsyl syringone and co-cultured for 3 days.
[0099] The embryos were then transferred to a selection medium and cultured at 26°C in the dark for 6-8 weeks, with subculturing every 2 weeks. The callus was then transferred to a transition medium and induced to differentiate into regenerated plantlets under low light conditions at 22°C. Regenerated green shoots were observed after 7-15 days. Two weeks later, the callus was transferred to a regeneration medium and cultured at 22°C with a photoperiod of 12h light / 12h dark. After approximately 2 weeks, the robust regenerated plantlets were transferred to a rooting medium under the same conditions as the regeneration stage. Once the regenerated plantlets had well-developed root systems (roots longer than 1cm and with numerous roots), they were transplanted to a greenhouse for cultivation until maturity, yielding regenerated plants (e.g., ...).
