The invention provides a method for cultivating anti-aging glutinous highland barley, highland barley
starch as well as a preparation method and application of the highland barley
starch, and particularly relates to a method for improving the
starch quality character of an existing high-quality glutinous highland barley variety, in particular to a method for cultivating anti-aging glutinous highland barley by utilizing a
gene editing technology without
exogenous DNA (
Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) integration. A method for fixed-point knockout of an SSIIa
gene to cultivate an anti-aging glutinous highland barley new strain under the background of a "Zhengnongglutinous 232" variety comprises the following steps: providing an
acceptor material derived from a highland barley variety "Zhengnongglutinous 232" with a glutinous character, and deleting a Wx
gene function of the "Zhengnongglutinous 232"; the method comprises the following steps: assembling
guide RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) designed aiming at an SSIIa gene and Cas9
protein in vitro to form a
ribonucleoprotein RNP complex; introducing the RNP complex into cells of an
acceptor material so as to enable Cas9
protein to generate double-chain breakage at a
target site of the SSIIa gene; carrying out culture and
plant regeneration on the introduced cells to obtain a T0-generation
plant of which the SSIIa gene is edited; and screening plants with the function loss of the SSIIa gene, wherein the plants keep the glutinous character of adult agricultural glutinous 232.
