Abstract: Pita2 is a broad-spectrum rice blast resistance gene located in centromere region of chromosome 12. In our previous research, 5 candidate genes were obtained from fine-mapping and their function and molecular mechanism were unknown. In this study, we constructed multiple sites editing vectors of those 5 candidate genes by high-efficiency and designated-editing CRISPR/Cas9 system. 2 protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequences were selected from the exons of each candidate genes to construct the gateway vector SK-gRNA separately. Then 2 targeted gRNAs on the SK-gRNA vectors were separately digested by isocaudarner and ligated into the binary expression vector pC1300-Cas9 using one step reaction. The results of PCR and Sanger sequencing from plasmid DNA showed that 5 multiple sites editing vectors for each candidate genes were successfully constructed. Our results lay the foundation for the further study on the function of Pita2 candidate genes by agrobacterium-mediated transformation and the analysis of the relationship between gene expression and resistance.
