Marchantia might seem an unlikely biotech crop, but it’s worth trying. In Aurore’s thesis, we pushed this concept by engineering the auronidins with MpMYB14 and using the pigments to dye cotton. It ended up giving a very unique and beautiful product. #PlantScience www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

✂️🧬 EDITOR’S CHOICE 🧬✂️

Frangedakis et al. present an improved method for generating complex CRSIPR-mediated genome modifications in Marchantia polymorpha using the tRNA-gRNA approach together with an optimized protocol for thallus transformation.

Fig. 1.Schematic diagram of tRNA-gRNA multiplexing for plant genome editing. (A) A plasmid is constructed containing a tRNA-gRNA cassette driven by the U6 promoter, together with a transcription unit for Cas9 expression. (B) After transformation into the plant, the primary RNA transcript is cleaved by the endogenous tRNA-processing enzymes RNase P and RNase Z, resulting in functional guide RNAs for genome editing.
