The optimization of the CRISPR-Cas9 system for enhancing editing efficiency holds significant value in scientific research. In this study, we optimized single guide RNA and promoters of the CRISPR-Cas9 vector and established an efficient protoplast isolation and transient transformation system in , and we successfully applied the modified CRISPR-Cas9 system to detect editing efficiency of the gene. The activity of the promoter in protoplasts was approximately three times higher than that of the promoter. This promoter, along with the promoter, was applied in the CRISPR-Cas9 cassette, the modified CRISPR-Cas9 vectors that editing efficiency was 37.7%, which was 30.3% higher than that of the control, and the types of mutation are base substitutions, small fragment deletions and insertions. Finally we obtained an efficient gene editing vector for . This project provides an important technical platform for the study of gene function in .

Rice (Oryza sativa ) is a crucial staple crop worldwide, providing nutrition to more than half of the global population. Nonetheless, the sustainability of grain production is increasingly jeopardized by both biotic and abiotic stressors exacerbated by climate change, which increases the crop's rvulnerability to pests and diseases. Genome-editing by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated Protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) presents a potential solution for enhancing rice productivity and resilience under climatic stress.

Background: Preclinical animal models are essential for the development of effective treatments. For instance, the 5xFAD mouse model successfully represents the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Expression of humanized APP (K670N/M671L - Swedish, I716V - Florida, V717I - London) and PSEN1 (M146L and L286V), found in early onset AD patients, induces the production of amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42) and amyloid deposition, gliosis, and progressive neuronal loss.

Background: We identified the missense variant Ser1038Cys (rs377155188) in the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 3 (TTC3) gene that segregate in a non-Hispanic white late onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD) family. This variant is predicted to be deleterious and extremely rare (MAF<0.01%).

Background: Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) processing to Aβ is well understood but the function of APP is largely unknown. APP is expressed ubiquitously and localizes to mitochondria. The consequences of mitochondrial APP localization are not known.

Background: To date, Alzheimer's disease (AD) research has principally focused on neurons. In contrast, recent studies suggest that genetic mechanisms drive microglia towards prolonged inflammation in AD brains, exacerbating neurodegeneration. Indeed, many of the 70 disease-associated loci uncovered with genome-wide association studies (GWAS) reside near genes related to microglial function, such as TREM2.
