Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is an outcrossing tetraploid legume species widely cultivated in the world. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) system has been successfully used for genome editing many plant species. However, use of CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout alfalfa still very challenging. Our initial single gRNA-CRISPR/Cas9 had low mutagenesis efficiency with no mutant phenotype. In order to develop optimized alfalfa, we...
