| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To establish chloroplast genome editing in order to open a frontier of chloroplast engineering, site-specific DNA cleavage system by using the synthetic custom design nuclease was designed and constructed. At first, TALEN as a synthetic custom design nuclease was chosen, and The TALEN with transit peptide (tp-TALEN) against to the target on chloroplast genome was constructed. The tp-TALEN could cut the target DNA specifically in vitro, but was failed to transport to chloroplast. Therefore, Cas9 nuclease was used instead of TALEN. Cas9 with transit peptide was successively transported to chloroplast.
