Prime editing is a versatile CRISPR/Cas-based pre-cise genome-editing technique for crop breeding.Four new types of prime editors(PEs)named PE6a-d were recently generated using evolved and engineered reverse transcriptase(RT)variants from three different sources.In this study,we tested the editing efficiencies of four PE6 variants and two additional PE6 constructs with double-RT modules in transgenic rice(Oryza sativa)plants.PE6c,with an evolved and engineered RT variant from the yeast Tf1 retrotransposon,yielded the highest prime-editing efficiency.The average fold change in the editing efficiency of PE6c compared with PEmax exceeded 3.5 across 18 agronomically important target sites from 15 genes.We also demonstrated the feasibility of using two RT modules to improve prime-editing efficiency.Our results suggest that PE6c or its derivatives would be an excellent choice for prime editing in monocot plants.In addition,our findings have laid a foundation for prime-editing-based breeding of rice varieties with enhanced agronomically important traits.
