Previous studies have demonstrated that an appropriate promoter can drive Cas9 transcription in the CRISPR/Cas9 system, which improves the efficiency of gene editing. Here, we identified and characterized callus-specific promoters to enhance gene editing efficiency in cassava. From the transcriptome data of 11 cassava tissues, the gene named YCE1 was identified to exhibit callus-specific expression. Its promoter (pYCE1) could efficiently and specifically drive EGFP transcription in callus tissues.
