The introduction of DNA, RNA, and proteins into plant cells has become important in plant science with the recent development of innovative technologies such as genome editing. As a new method for the delivery of such biomacromolecules, fusion peptides, which have multiple functional domains, have been developed. The functional domains include cell-penetrating peptides for crossing cell membranes, polycationic peptides for biomacromolecule binding, and organelle-targeting peptides. The fusion peptide-based macromolecule delivery system enables the efficient introduction of DNA, RNA, and proteins, which are much larger in size than the peptide, into plant cells while retaining the activity of the biomacromolecules. Compared to pre-existing delivery methods, this system has advantages in that it does not require any special equipment and can be performed easily and quickly on a wide variety of plants. Furthermore, as a characteristic feature of the fusion peptide system, the application of organelle-targeting peptides to fusion peptides allows selective delivery of biomacromolecules to chloroplasts or mitochondria. Here, we provide a representative method of the fusion peptide-based biomacromolecule delivery system and an example of the results of biomacromolecule delivery as promising new tools for plant biology and biotechnology.
