摘要： Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a type of commercially prevalent subtropical and tropical fruit. Since litchi has a highly heterozygous genetic background and a long reproductive cycle, conventional breeding methods (such as hybridization) have limited ability to nurture new litchi cultivars. Here, an efficient and stable Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation of embryogenic callus was established in 'Feizixiao' litchi. Transgenic materials were verified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, b-glucuronidase (GUS) assay, and green fluorescent protein (GFP) assay. To implement the technology of the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/ associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) technology in 'Feizixiao' litchi and verify the validity of these transformation systems, the litchi polyphenol oxidase gene (LcPPO, JF926153) was knocked out. Various categories of mutations, covering base insertions, deletions, and substitutions, were found in transgenic materials via sequence analysis. The transformation system achieved high feasibility and efficiency, and the system of CRISPR/Cas9 was successfully employed to edit genes in 'Feizixiao' litchi. This work provides an essential foundation for investigating the functions of genes and accelerating litchi genetic improvement.
