The invention relates to the technical field of
gene editing, and provides a method for creating herbicide-resistant rice through
gene editing of an
intron region of an OsEPSPS
gene, and particularly relates to a method for introducing single allelic
deletion mutation of WT / 22bp or single allelic deletion
insertion mutation of WT / 32 + 6bp into the
intron region of the OsEPSPS gene, i.e., A in an
initiation codon ATG of the OsEPSPS gene is 0 site, A in the
initiation codon ATG of the OsEPSPS gene is 0 site, A in the
initiation codon ATG of the OsEPSPS gene is 0 site, and A in the initiation codon ATG of the OsEPSPS gene is 0 site; on one
allele, 22bp is deleted from the 771 site to the 792 site at the downstream of the
allele or 32bp is deleted from the 775 site to the 806 site at the downstream of the
allele, and 6bp is inserted in the interval, and the other allele is kept unchanged. It is found that by introducing the
mutation, rice can obtain resistance to EPSPS inhibitor herbicides, the resistance is identified in T0-generation plants carrying the
mutation and can be stably inherited to
offspring plants of the T0-generation plants, and the application value for improving the use efficiency of the herbicides is extremely high.
