+**cloning**
+
+- cloning of transformation vectors was performed according to the protocol by Kumar et al. (2018)
+- sgRNAs were cloned into recipient vector pMGE599
+- two sgRNA combinations:
+
+| approach | covered CDS sequence (from start codon) | sgRNA sequence (incl. PAM, 5'-3') | construct name | 
+| - | - | - | - |
+| 1 | 7-26, 97-116 | GGCGGTGGCGCAGCCGCGGATGG, GAGATCTATACCTACGAGGCCGG |  pMGE599/7-97

+**transformation**
+
+- gp-fast plants were cultivated in long-day conditions (16h day / 8 night) in control temperature (20°C / 16°C)
+- immature embryos were used for transformation according to Hensel et al. (2009)
+- DNA was extracted from regenerated plants using QIAGEN_DNeasy-Plant-Mini protocol
+- successful insertion of the transformation vector into the genome was tested by PCR using the primers Hyg-156 (5'-ACGCACAATCCCACTATCC-3') and Hyg-047 (5'-GTGTCGTCCATCACAGTTTG-3')
