%X Transgenesis technologies, such as overexpression or RNA interference-mediated suppression, have often been used to alter the activity of target genes. More recently developed targeted genome modification methods using customizable endonucleases allow for the regulation or knockout mutation of target genes without the necessity of integrating recombinant DNA. Such approaches make it possible to create novel alleles of target genes, thereby significantly contributing to crop improvement. Among these technologies, the Cas9 endonuclease-based method is widely applied to several crops, including barley (Hordeum vulgare). In this chapter, we describe an Agrobacterium-based approach to the targeted modification of grain dormancy genes in barley using RNA-guided Cas9 nuclease.
