CRISPR Cas9-mediated genome editing and base editing technologies have shown promising results in plant gene editing, with prime editing demonstrating high efficiency and precision. However, addressing the issue of inconsistent editing efficiencies across different target sites remains a challenge.
CRISPR Cas9-mediated genome editing is highly efficient at targeted site-specific gene knock-out through NHEJ (Non-Homology End Joining), but ineffective for specific DNA integration through HDR (Homology Directed Repair) for precise gene editing. Base editors can make limited base substitutions but only within restricted small windows of the protospacer. Prime editing has been applied in plants with various degrees of success. However, several questions such as low and inconsistent editing efficiencies across different target sites need to be addressed. We compared two prime editing approaches PE3 and PE2 at two neighboring target sites within rice Waxy gene to partially address those questions. A straightforward PE2 plant prime editing system retrofitted from a regular CRISPR-Cas9 editing system can deliver highly efficient up to 66.7% precise gene editing. Various forms of precise editing including base substitutions, small deletions and insertions can be accurately achieved. The secondary structure variations of different pegRNAs may be the primary reason for inconsistent editing across different target sites and should be the optimization focus to further improve plant prime editing.
