Abstract:

U6 promoter is an important element that drives sgRNA transcription in the construction of the CRISPR/Cas9 system. In this study, three types of U6 promoters were cloned from Huajin 6 Lonicera japonica using polymerase chain reaction(PCR), and five promoters of different lengths were constructed to drive the GUS expression vector. CaMV35S was used in a positive control experiment, and Agrobacterium tumefaciens was used in a negative control experiment. Tobacco protoplasts were transfected through the transient transformation method using A. tumefaciens. After GUS staining, the quantity and efficiency of protoplasts were observed under a microscope. The staining results revealed that the highly efficient transcription promoter Chr01 U6-F1 was screened successfully, which laid a foundation for the gene editing of Lonicera japonica in the later stage.

Key words: Lonicera japonica, U6 promoter, clone, gene editing
