The cotton genomics community has utilized whole genome sequencing data to construct an elite gene pool in which functional genes are related to agronomic traits. However, the functional validation of these genes is hindered by time-consuming and inefficient genetic transformation methods. Thus, establishing a transient transformation system of high efficiency is necessary for cotton genomics.Results To improve the efficiency of transient transformation, we used the protoplasts isolated from the etiolated cotyledon as recipient. The enzymatic digestion buffer comprised 1.5%(w/v) cellulase, 0.75%(w/v) macerozyme, and 1% hemicellulase, osmotically buffered with 0.4 mol·L^(-1) mannitol. After 5 h of dark incubation at 25℃, uniform cotton protoplasts were successfully isolated with a yield of 4.6 × 10^(6) protoplasts per gram(fresh weight) and 95% viability. We incubated 100 μL protoplasts(2.5 × 10^(5)·m L^(-1)) with 15 μg plasmid in the solution of 0.4 mol·L^(-1) mannitol and 40% PEG 4000 for 15 min, ultimately achieving an optimal transient transfection efficiency of 71.47%.Conclusions This transient system demonstrated effective utility in cellular biology research through successful applications in subcellular localization analyses, bimolecular fluorescence complementation(Bi FC) verification, and prime editing vector validation. Through systematic optimization, we established an efficient and expedited protoplast-based transient transformation system and successfully applied this platform to cotton functional genomics studies.展开更多
