摘要： Small guide RNA (sgRNA) is an important component of the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The gene editing efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas9 system could be enhanced by using highly active U6 promoters to drive the expression of sgRNA. Therefore, we constructed various expression vectors based on the 11 GmU6 promoters predicted and cloned in the whole soybean genome. The expression of truncated GUS driven by 11 GmU6 promoters was tested in hairy roots and by Arabidopsis thaliana transformation. The results indicated that higher transcriptional levels were driven by 5 GmU6 promoters (GmU6-4, GmU6-7, GmU6-8, GmU6-10 and GmU6-11) in both soybean hairy roots and Arabidopsis thaliana. In addition, three genes, Glyma03g36470, Glyma14g04180 and Glyma06g136900, were selected as targets to detect the transcriptional levels of multiple GmU6 promoters. Mutations in these three genes were detected in soybean hairy roots after Agrobacterium rhizogenes infection, indicating efficient target gene editing, including nucleotide insertion, deletion, and substitution. Mutation efficiencies differed among the 11 GmU6 promoters, ranging from 2.8% to 20.6%, and markedly higher efficiencies were obtained with all three genes using the GmU6-8 (20.3%) and GmU6-10 (20.6%) promoters. These two GmU6 promoters also showed higher ability to drive truncated GUS transcription in both soybean hairy roots and transformed Arabidopsis thaliana. These results will help to construct an efficient CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system and promote the application of the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system in soybean molecular breeding.
