The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system has been successfully used for precise genome editing in many plant species, including in carrot cells, very recently. However, no stable gene-editing carrot plants were obtained with CRISPR/Cas9 system to date. In the present study, four sgRNA expression cassettes, individually driven by four different promoters and assembled in a single CRISPR/Cas9 vector, were transformed into carrots usingAgrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. Four sites ofDcPDSandDcMYB113-likegenes were chosen as targets. Knockout ofDcPDSin orange carrot ‘Kurodagosun’ resulted in the generation of albino carrot plantlets, with about 35.3% editing efficiency.DcMYB113-likewas also successfully edited in purple carrot ‘Deep purple’, resulting in purple depigmented carrot plants, with about 36.4% rate of mutation. Sequencing analyses showed that insertion, deletion, and substitution occurred in the target sites, generating heterozygous, biallelic, and chimeric mutations. The highest efficiency of mutagenesis was observed in the sites targeted by AtU6-29-driven sgRNAs in bothDcPDS- andDcMYB113-like-knockoutT0plants, which always induced double-strand breaks in the target sites. Our results proved that CRISPR/Cas9 system could be for generating stable gene-editing carrot plants.
