Three sites of 20 nt guide RNA (gRNA) targeted to the exon of TGW6were designed and transcribed from the U3, U6a, or U6b promoters, respectively. The three target sites of gRNA were then ligated to the vector pYLCRISPR/Cas9-MT(I) based on golden gate cloning strategy. The recombinant plasmid was transferred to a rice cultivar, H447 (R819/Yuzhenxiang//R819 BC3F6) by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Sequencing for the genomic DNA of TGW6locus in T0 rice showed the mutagenesis frequency for TGW6was more than 90%, including 51% of homozygous deletion mutations. Further analysis for the T1 mutants showed that almost all the homozygous deletion mutants improved the thousand-grain weight significantly (more than 5%). The successful tgw6 editing not only provided a series of tgw6mutants for high and stable yield of rice but also proved that CRISPR/Cas9 is a facile and powerful means of rice genetic engineering for scientific and agricultural applications, which has important theoretical and practical significance for rice breeding.
