KEY WORDS: CRISPR /Cas9, Gateway technology, ccdB , Soluble Starch Synthases, Advance construct and cloning. This research provides a new and scalable approach to the assembly of an advanced CRISPR/Cas9 expression vector by multi-round Gateway cloning, allowing for accurate and multiplexed genome editing of several isoforms of the soluble starch synthase II (SSSII) genes in rice. By combining three gRNA cassettes against OsSSSII-1, OsSSSII-2, and OsSSSII-3 within a single binary destination vector (pMDC99), we provide a universal and modular platform that avoids the restrictions imposed by conventional cloning strategies involving restriction enzyme dependence and inefficiency in multigene stacking. Application of the ccdB negative selection system also guarantees high fidelity of cloning. While the final construct ran into challenges in full removal of ccdB and the co-conversion of all three gRNAs, the methodological approach established in this research presents a proof-of-concept for high-throughput genome engineering in plants. The technique has great promise to enhance functional genomics research and crop bioengineering for enhanced starch metabolism, and this has broader implications for the development of rice varieties with altered glycemic indices that are useful in advancing metabolic health in the world. INTRODUCTION Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 endonuclease is a genomic editing tool. CRISPR/Cas9 is known for its simplicity, specificity, and versatility [1-5]. The functions of endonuclease Cas9 could be utilized to delete a specific site(s) of a gene using an engineered sequence single guide RNA (gRNA). The gRNA usually has 20 nucleotides against a specific target sequence in the genome [5, 6]. The SSS-II 1, 2, and 3 gene expression cassette was cloned into a plant transformation vector, pMDC99, employing the Multi round Gateway cloning techniques (figure 1). The expression cassette pMDC99 was transferred into Indica rice through Agrobacterium -mediated genetic transformation. Mutations in soluble starch synthases (SSS) II [7-10] have altered the starch biosynthesis pathway in one way or the other in rice. Variation in SSS isoform profiles could affect the starch biosynthesis pathway and control phenotypes in the natural varieties of rice [11, 12]. Multi round Gateway technology is site-specific recombinational cloning sysytem (figure 1) [14, 15]. This is site-specific recombination of bacteriophage λ through Gateway technology [15]. Βacteriophage λ assimilates keen on the chromosome of E. coli through site-specific recombination technique between the attachment sites (att) on the bacterial chromosome (attB) and the sites att of lying on the phage chromosome (attP), to produce left (attL) and right att sites (attR). This reaction of recombination is mediated via the integrase enzyme (Int) of bacteriophage λ and the E. coli integration host factor (IHF). The reaction of excision needs an extra host factor, excisionase (Xis), in adding to IHF and Int. The multi round Gateway cloning has developed changed att sites (such as attB1, attB2, attP1, and attP2) [14]. The attB1 sites specially recombine through the attP1 site, other than not attP2, to produce the attL1 and attR1 sites. Likewise, the attB2 site purposely recombines through the attP2 site to produce the attL2 and attR2 sites. In the initial step of the multi round Gateway cloning, the fragment of DNA for cloning is enlarged through primer sets of PCR having attB1 or attB2 sequences at the 5′ end points [figure 1(a)]. Gateway technology cloning vectors have attP1 and attP2 sites for cloning. Consequently, the PCR product having the attB1 or attB2 sites at equally ends can be in particular inserted in between the attP1 and attP2 sites of the entry vector through site-specific recombination system, to produce the entry clone of the Gateway technology [16]. The Gateway technology LR cloning reaction is mediated through the site-specific homologous DNA recombination properties of bacteriophage lambda [17]. This technique is more appropriate than other technique as it has not involved either DNA digestion or ligation, two processes this can hinder the cloning method [18]. The binary vector having a ccdB gene, which generates a toxic protein. It is lethal to mostly E.coli strains [19, 20]. In the Gateway cloning LR reaction, the ccdB gene in the binary vector is substituted through the targeted gene from an entry vector with site-specific DNA homologous recombination. The multi round LR reaction mixture having both recombinant and non-recombinant DNA plasmids are consequently transmitted keen on E. coli bacteria, such as pMDC99, which is sensitive to the toxic effect of ccdB . Only recombinant pMDC99 plasmids that have lost the ccdB gene are capable to stay alive in the transformed EHA105 cells. Lately, collections of Gateway technology compatible binary destination vectors, that can be used for Agrobacterium mediated transformation, have been created and are obtainable to the plant research community [21-24]. Targeted sequences can be simply cloned into these binary destination vectors throughout Gateway technology multi round LR cloning [25]. The main Gateway cloning technique was additional enhanced for cloning multiple DNA fragments into a single vector [26, 27]. Recently, up to four targeted gene sequences can be cloned into a single vector destination. The 4-fragment MultiSite Gateway cloning technology is suitable for the construction of a donor DNA plasmid for CRISPR/Cas9 and NHEJ-mediated gene knocks out [16]. (a) (b) (c) (d) Figure 1: Sequential Multi gateway Cloning Vectors for Indefinite Stacking of genes (a) First round of Stacking, (b), second round of Stacking (c) and third round of Stacking (d) MATERIAL AND METHODS The bacterial host strains, chemicals, cloning vectors, enzymes and planting materials, etc. utilized for the gene cloning, protein expression and purification, plant transformation, transgenic screening, and Starch assessment and their sources. Primer design The primers were designed using Mac-Vector (Acceleris, GmbH), Snap Gene (form 1.1.3), or using electronic programming, for example, Primer blast (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/instruments/ groundwork impact/list) and Primer 3 plus (https://primer3plus.com/) with default values. Oligo-analyzer programming (http://www.idtdna.com) was used to check for the probability of self or hetero-dimer development in the planned set of Primers (table 1). These Primers were confirmed for their uniqueness using BLASTN at the NCBI database. The primers were further combined using IDT, Germany, or Sigma-Aldrich, India [6]. gRNA Synthesis of advance Construct of SSSIIs genes. The target site to be knocked out was picked with the end goal that it lays in the exonic region just as it is the exon just which partakes in gene expression. Thus, to pick the target sites the cDNA sequence of the gene of intrigue was utilized. Gene editing in the intronic region would have no impact on gene working. In CRISPR innovation, just the gRNA shifts while the remainder of the cassettes, for example, scaffold, promoter, and vector spine continues as before. The gRNA could be changed by necessity only by digesting the scaffold vector with an appropriate restriction enzyme to clone sgRNA in it. To predict imminent gRNAs for both the gene, the cDNA succession of all three OsSSSII-1, OsSSSII-2, and OsSSSII-3 genes was taken in online CRISPR-direct programming. Checking sense and antisense strands of both the cDNAs, the CRISPR direct programming anticipated a few imminent target sites which were promptly adjoining PAM sequences. Consequently, the target sequence to be mutated resembled 5′-N (20) - NGG-3′ or 5′-CCN-N (20)- 3′. Our target sequence which is 20 ntds, was available only nearby the PAM sequence that is 5’NGG3’. Both the forward and turn around single-stranded oligos of 20 ntds were incorporated from IDT (USA). The complementary forward and turn around oligos of all gRNAs were toughened to one another in thermo-cycler to frame a double-stranded gRNA having four ntds. Shades on either side, which is correlative to the shades of processed EV1 and EV2. Two separate articulation vectors were intended for targeting OsSSSII-1, OsSSSII-2, and OsSSSII-3 genes [12]. Table 1: Primers of sgRNAs sequences of SSS II -1, 2, and 3 [12].

Right off the bat, the gRNA1 and gRNA2 were cloned into the Bsa1 site of EV1 and EV2 entry vectors, separately. At that point, SSSII-1 gRNA2, SSSII-2 gRNA1 and SSSII-3 gRNA2 from these entry vectors were cloned into Destination vector (previously containing Cas9 gene cassette) individually through gateway cloning utilizing LR clonase. The last Construct got was changed into Agrobacterium EHA105 cells through electroporation technique [12]. Multi-round Gateway cloning The Gateway technology is a dynamic and all-inclusive cloning technology dependent on the guideline of homologous site-explicit recombination which helps in the mix of lambda (λ) phage into the E. coli chromosome [28]. The recombination of λ phage requires site-explicit attachment (att) sites: attP on the λ phage chromosome and attB on the E. coli chromosome. The sites attachment are all around described and discovered to be vital for the binding of recombination proteins [29]. The λ recombination is bio-catalyzed by various compounds that target and tie to the attachment (att) sites, join the target sites, limit them, lastly covalently attach the DNA. Within the sight of λ integrase and excisionase, homologous recombination happens between viable att sites [30]. Utilizing the λ recombination system-based Gateway cloning innovation it is possible to move heterologous DNA sequences (flanked by altered att locales) between vectors without the need of restriction catalysts [31]. The Multi Round Gateway cloning technology [32] considers the in vitro gene pyramiding/stacking of various genes into a solitary plant change vector through a series of recombination responses. The steps engaged with LR Multi-Round Gateway cloning technologies are as per the following: The initial step includes endonuclease based cloning of the cassettes gene expression into plasmids having flanking ”att L” recombination sites to create ”Section Vectors” (EV-1 and EV-2) [figure 1(a)]. The second step includes the exchange of the cassette gene in the Gateway Entry Vector into a Gateway Destination vector plasmid that contains ”att R” recombination sites (pMDC99) utilizing an exclusive enzyme blend, ”LR Clonase TM ” (Invitrogen, USA) [figure 1(b)]. With the end goal of Multi-Round Gateway cloning two diverse entry vectors, EV-1 and EV-2 were utilized. These two entry vectors contrast in the recombination sites, EV1 (pL12R-34H-Ap) encloses the recombination connection sites attL1-attL2 and attR3-attR4 though, EV2 (pL34R12H-CmR-ccdB) contains the recombination sites attL3-attL4 and attR1-R2. These entry vectors (EV1 and EV2) can be utilized related to the gateway viable destination vectors (pMDC99-plant change vector) conveying the attR1-attR2 recombination destinations for the development of multi-quality plant change builds. The pMDC99 vector contains the hygromycin obstruction gene hygromycin phosphotransferase ( hpt ) as a plant determination marker [33]. LR cloning of Multi-round Gateway Cloning The LR recombination of the first round consisted of recombination between EV-1 recombinant vector (containing the MzUbip: Cas9: NosT) and therefore the pMDC99 destination vector. The recombinant first LR inclusion (Cas9:pMDC99) was isolated from the positive colonies to be used for the LR cloning of the second round[ figure 1(b)]. The LR second round reaction implanted the recombination between SSSII-1 gRNA2 recombinant vector (having gRNA2 expression cassette: EV2:U6promoter:gRNA2: scaffold) and therefore the destination vector plasmid (pMDC99:Cas9) obtained once initial LR reaction. The LR third round recombination consisted of the recombination reaction between SSSII-2 EV1 recombinant vector (having the gRNA1 expression cassette: U3promoter: gRNA1: scaffold) and the pMDC99:Cas9:gRNA2 vector [figure 1(c)]. The LR fourth round recombination consisted of the recombination reaction between SSSII-3 EV2 recombinant vector (having the gRNA2 expression cassette: U6promoter: gRNA2: scaffold) and therefore the pMDC99:Cas9:gRNA2:gRNA1 vector [figure 1(d)]. The LR fourth round recombination consisted of the recombination reaction between SSSII-3 EV2 recombinant vector (having the gRNA2 expression cassette: U6promoter: gRNA2: scaffold) and the pMDC99:Cas9:gRNA2:gRNA1 vector. The LR final round recombination consisted of the recombination reaction between EV1 vector (having the gRNA1 expression cassette) and the pMDC99:Cas9:gRNA2:gRNA1:gRNA2 vector to remove ccdB gene from advance vector of pMDC99:Cas9: SSSII-1 gRNA2: SSSII-2 gRNA1: SSSII-3 gRNA2. The EV-2 vector of OsSSSII-1, EV-1 vector of OsSSSII-2 and EV-2 vector of OsSSSII-3, respective genes containing the gRNA2, gRNA1 and gRNA2 expression cassette was combined with pMDC99:Cas9:gRNA2/gRNA1/gRNA2 vector during a 2:1 quantitative relation (nanomoles) within the presence of LR clonase catalyst mix and incubated at 16 °C for 19 hours. This LR reaction was terminated by adding one µl enzyme K. associate degree aliquot of 2µl of the primary round LR reaction product was remodeled into E. coli top10/ E. coli DB3.1 (EV2/gRNA2 is related to E. coli DB3.1) cells exploitation heat shock and designated on lb agar plates supplemented with 50 µg/ml kanamycin. The resistant colonies obtained were screened for the presence of a gRNAs expression cassette by colony PCR exploitation sequence-specific primers. The LR final round cloning was transferred into Agrobacterium (EHA105) via electroporation and chosen on YEM agar plate supplemented with 50 µg/ml kanamycin, 50 µg/ml chloramphenicol and 50 µg/ml rifampicin. The ultimate expression vector construct (pMDC99:Cas9: OsSSSII-1- gRNA1:gRNA2, pMDC99: Cas9: OsSSSII-2- gRNA1: gRNA2 and pMDC99: Cas9: OsSSSII -3-gRNA1: gRNA2) was checked for the presence of hpt gene, Cas9 gene, gRNA1, and gRNA2 discrimination specific sets of screening primers (table 2).

Gene editing in the intronic region will have no impact. Targeting exon regions is essential for effective approach to delete functional segment of gene in CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing. The gRNA can be changed by digesting the scaffold vector with an appropriate restriction enzyme to clone sgRNA. cDNA sequences of three OsSSSII-1, OsSSSII-2, and OsSSSII-3 genes were used in the CRISPRdirect program predict potential gRNAs. The CRISPRdirect identified few target sites which were promptly adjoining PAM sequences while checking the sense and antisense strands of both the cDNAs. The target sequence resembled 5′-N (20)- NGG-3′ or 5′CCN-N (20)- 3′. The target sequence which is 20 ntds, was available only near the PAM sequence which is 5’NGG3’. Design of primers of CRISPR/Cas9 gRNA using CRISPRdirect is simple and effective [6]. CRISPR-Cas9-targeted mutagenesis has recently been used for creating various mutations in rice [34, 35]. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome-edited technology has a major edge over other mutagenesis techniques due to its high precision [36, 12] . Advance Constructing the Gateway technology compatible destination vector. In arrange different genes in advance construct of Gateway cloning compatible binary destination vector. The LR last round recombination consisted of the recombination reaction between SSSII-3 EV2 recombinant vector (having the gRNA2 expression cassette: U6 promoter: gRNA2: scaffold) and the pMDC99:Cas9:gRNA2:gRNA1 vector. The LR final round recombination consisted of the recombination reaction between EV1 vector (having the gRNA1 expression cassette) and the pMDC99:Cas9:gRNA2:gRNA1:gRNA2 vector to remove ccdB gene from advance vector of pMDC99:Cas9: SSSII-1 gRNA2: SSSII-2 gRNA1: SSSII-3 gRNA2. This LR reaction was terminated by adding one µl enzyme K. associate degree aliquot of 2µl of the primary round LR reaction product was remodeled into E. coli top10/ E. coli DB3.1 (EV2/gRNA2 is related to E. coli DB3.1) cells exploitation heat shock and designated on lb agar plates supplemented with 50 µg/ml kanamycin. The resistant colonies obtained were screened for the presence of a gRNAs expression cassette by colony PCR exploitation sequence-specific primers. The LR final round cloning was transferred into Agrobacterium (EHA105) via electroporation and chosen on YEM agar plate supplemented with 50 µg/ml kanamycin, 50 µg/ml chloramphenicol and 50 µg/ml rifampicin. The ultimate expression vector construct (pMDC99:Cas9: OsSSSII-1-gRNA1:gRNA2, pMDC99: Cas9: OsSSSII-2-gRNA1: gRNA2 and pMDC99: Cas9: OsSSSII-3-gRNA1: gRNA2) was checked for the presence of hpt gene, Cas9 gene, gRNA1, and gRNA2 discrimination specific sets of screening primers. Delineated illustration of ultimate expression vector having Cas9, gRNA expression cassette. The sequence of screening primers of hygromycin, Cas9 genes, gRNAs of all three OsSSSII-1, OsSSSII-2 and OsSSSII-3 Expression. The LR third round of Gate cloning is cloning after that conformation of isolation of Plasmid of recombinant Binary vector with gene of primers of SSSII-1 gRNA2, SSSII-2 gRNA1, Cas9 and hpt, but SSSII-2 gRNA1 bands are not shown in this gel (figure 5). This is repeats conformation of isolation of Plasmid. In figure 5 and 6, the PCR conformation gel bands of SSSII-2 gRNA1 in figure 5 and 6 is negative, and further separately confirmation of isolated plasmid of SSSII-2 gRNA1 is shown positive bands. The LR final round of Multi Gateway cloning for remove ccdB from recombinant binary vectors after that repeats conformation of isolation of Plasmid of recombinant Binary vector with gene of primers of SSSII-1 gRNA2, SSSII-1 gRNA2, and SSSII-3 gRNA2 and Cas9 (figure 14). There are not shown bands of SSSII-1 and SSSII-3. The LR final round of Multi Gateway cloning for remove ccdB from recombinant binary vectors after that repeats conformation of isolation of Plasmid of recombinant Binary vector with gene of primers of SSSII-1 gRNA2 and SSSII-1 gRNA2 (figure 15). The LR final round of Multi Gateway cloning for remove ccdB from recombinant binary vectors after that repeats conformation with respective gene primers (figure 16 and 17). Unfortunately, we did not get successful for formation of advance construction of all three genes. The rice developed had a low glycemic index and thus offers a good substitute for traditional rice for diabetics and patients suffering from other diseases. Cas9-free SSS mutant rice can help in controlling diabetes, coronary heart disease, rectal cancers, and certain colon cancers, and might offer health benefits for people worldwide [12]. CONCLUSION In this Article, CRISPR/Cas9 system is used for editing of targeted sequences of genomes. CRISPR-Cas9 is used for faster and easier modification other than previous genome editing. The formation advances construct CRISPR/Cas9 of soluble starch synthase II of three isoforms gene in the single destination binary vector (pMDC99) with Multi round LR reaction of Gateway cloning technology. In fourth LR reaction, we inserted three gRNAs of gene in binary vector. We tried to remove ccdB gene from construct vector through final LR reaction of gateway technology, unfortunately disturbed construct of three genes of SSSII. We reported results in this article. This technology is used for knock out of targeted sequences.
