520 |a Iron homeostasis is a multifaceted regulatory process that needs to be studied to elucidate iron distribution, uptake, and storage in plants. NtbHLH47, a homologue to AtbHLH47, is a negative regulator of iron. The current study deploys CRISPR interference-dCas9-KRAB (Krüppel-associated box) in the transcriptional suppression of NtbHLH47 and its effect on iron uptake by plants. The pHSN6I01 harbouring dCas9-KRAB and gRNA targeting NtbHHLH47 was constructed. Four gRNAs were designed, G1, G2, G3, and G4, located at + 19, + 111, + 232, and + 335 bp upstream from the ATG start codon in the promoter region of NtbHLH47. The NtbHLH47 was repressed in the developed transgenic lines of tobacco and the qRT-PCR analysis showed that target sites G1 and G2 suppressed NtbHLH47 effectively. The transgenic pHSN6I01 +G1 plants were tolerant to the elevated levels of iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium. The root Ferric chelate reductase activity of pHSN6I01 +G1 lines was reduced against wild type. The Perl staining showed high iron content in the roots of the pHSN6I01 +G1 plants. ICP-MS analysis showed increased Fe content in the roots of pHSN6I01 +G1 line suggesting that NtbHLH47 modulates it. The expression of NtbHLH38, NtbHLH100, NtbHLH101, and NtFIT was found to be upregulated in the pHSN6I01 +G1 line. This is the first report of using CRISPRi based on dCas9-KRAB in tobacco and its application in the functional validation of a gene. Using this, NtbHLH47 was transcriptionally suppressed and the generated lines expressed increased levels of iron in the roots of N. tabacum and gave insight in the iron homeostasis
