Abstract in brief

  • The study introduces ITER, a high-throughput platform using 96-well arrayed protoplast transfections and high-content imaging, to rapidly optimize CRISPR gene-editing tools in wheat and maize, enabling a full cycle from design to results in just 3 weeks.
  • Researchers used ITER to enhance the activity of LbCas12a-based adenine base editors (ABEs) in plants, achieving a significant increase in editing efficiency from nearly undetectable levels to 40%, and successfully generated base-edited plants with stable inheritance of edits.
  • The findings demonstrate that ITER is a versatile and efficient tool for improving genome editing reagents, which can be broadly applied to develop advanced editing systems like mutagenic nucleases and cytosine base editors across diverse plant species.
