Efficient scar-free knock-ins of several kilobases in plants by engineered CRISPR-Cas endonucleases

In plants and mammals,non-homologous end-joining is the dominant pathway to repair DNA double-strand breaks,making it challenging to generate knock-in events.In this study,we identified two groups of exonucleases from the herpes virus and the bacteriophage T7 families that conferred an up to 38-fold increase in homology-directed repair frequencies when fused to Cas9/Cas12a in a tobacco mosaic virus-based transient assay in Nicotiana benthamiana.We achieved precise and scar-free insertion of several kilobases of DNA both in transient and stable transformation systems.In Arabidopsis thaliana,fusion of Cas9 to a herpes virus family exonuclease led to 10-fold higher frequencies of knock-ins in the first generation of transformants.In addition,we demonstrated stable and heritable knock-ins in wheat in 1%of the primary transformants.Taken together,our results open perspectives for the routine production of her-itable knock-in and gene replacement events in plants.
