Abstract
Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, is exploited by breeders to produce elite high-yielding crop lines, but beneficial phenotypes are lost in subsequent generations owing to genetic segregation. Clonal propagation through seeds would enable self-propagation of F1hybrids. Here we report a strategy to enable clonal reproduction of F1rice hybrids through seeds. We fixed the heterozygosity of F1hybrid rice by multiplex CRISPR–Cas9 genome editing of theREC8,PAIR1andOSD1meiotic genes to produce clonal diploid gametes and tetraploid seeds. Next, we demonstrated that editing theMATRILINEAL(MTL) gene (involved in fertilization) could induce formation of haploid seeds in hybrid rice. Finally, we combined fixation of heterozygosity and haploid induction by simultaneous editing of all four genes (REC8,PAIR1,OSD1andMTL)in hybrid rice and obtained plants that could propagate clonally through seeds. Application of our method may enable self-propagation of a broad range of elite F1hybrid crops.
