ABSTRACT Micronutrients are not only necessary for plant growth and development, but also for human and animal health Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) family, that have been found to be related to the accumulation of micronutrients in plants In rice, there were gene belong to OsNRAMP family of which OsNRAMP1, OsNRAMP4, OsNRAMP5, OsNRAMP6 and OsNRAMP8 were reported to transport metals such as iron, zinc, etc Recent, AtNRAMP5 which was closely related to OsNRAMP7 was identified that function in Zn uptake in Arabidopsis In order to overexpress OsNRAMP7 of rice variety TBR225, in this study, a part of the promoter and the Exon I of the gene was isolated with an approximate 800 bp in size for structural design of a gene editing construct The isolated DNA fragment is 99.8 % similar to the homologous OsNRAMP7 sequence published on the GenBank (code CP012620) Based on the sequencing analysis, the TBR225 OsNRAMP7-targeting sgRNA and TBR225 OsNRAMP7-homologous DNA template fragment containing CaMV35S promoter sequence were designed by the bioinformatic software These fragments were, respectively, inserted into LguI and BamHI sites on pENTR4-V3 carrying the sgRNA expression construct which then subcloned into plant transformation vector pCas9 This research is the basis for functional identification of OsNRAMP7 and further creating new rice varieties with high micronutrient content by genetic engineering in Vietnam vi

OsNRAMP7-overexpressing CRISPR/Cas9 complex, the sgRNA expression cassette and the donor DNA template sequence (refferred as sgRNA-NRAMP7-35S) on pENTR4-V3/sgRNA-NRAMP7-35S were recombined into the

amplified DNA fragments These results indicated that the recombinant pCas9/sgRNA-NRAMP7-35S plasmid carries the Cas9 gene expression construct (controlled by the Ubiquitin promoter), the HPT gene expression structure and the gene-edited sgRNA expression construct OsNRAMP7TBR225 (controlled by U6 promoter) Figure 4.13 Validation of the recombinant plasmid pCAS9/sgRNA-NRAMP7-35S Note: Validation
