An optimized prime editing system in the model medicinal plant Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) was developed, enabling base transversions, complex insertions and base substitutions. Precise editing of key genes generated germplasm with elevated contents of the bioactive abietane diterpene tanshinone, advancing synthetic biology applications in medicinal plants.
