While the biochemical basis of pigment loss is well established, it remains unclear whether pds knockout elicits transcriptomic changes extending beyond carotenoid biosynthesis. Resolving this question is essential for correctly interpreting pds-based editing outcomes and for assessing the robustness of phenotype-only screening approaches. Methods: A CRISPR\/Cas9 editing platform targeting pds was established in diploid potato. Albino, non-albino edited, and wild-type tissues were subjected to RNA-seq profiling. Differential expression, functional enrichment, and weighted gene co-expression network analysis were integrated to resolve phenotype-associated transcriptional modules, and hierarchical regulatory layers underlying albinism. Results: CRISPR\/Cas9-mediated disruption of pds in potato-generated stable albino phenotypes and revealed extensive transcriptomic reprogramming that was not limited to pigment loss. Albino tissues exhibited more than 9700 differentially expressed genes relative to both wild-type and non-albino edited tissues, whereas non-albino edits showed substantially fewer changes. Functional enrichment demonstrated pervasive suppression of photosynthesis and carbon metabolism alongside activation of secondary metabolism, stress responses, hormone signaling, and cell wall remodeling. WGCNA and cross-validation resolved these changes into distinct, phenotype-associated regulatory layers: MEorangered4 captured coordinated repression of starch and sucrose metabolism (r = \u22120.998), MEdarkgreen marked albino-linked activation of secondary metabolism and barrier biogenesis (r = 0.855; overlap with Albino Core set, OR = 23.65), while MEblack and MEgrey60 reflected downregulation of stress signaling, proteostasis, and hormone-integrative control and were enriched in transgenic\u2013background-associated gene sets. Conclusions: pds knockout in potato is accompanied by broad transcriptomic changes beyond pigment biosynthesis, suggesting that albinism involves coordinated regulatory and metabolic adjustment under plastid dysfunction rather than pigment loss alone. These results refine the use of pds as a visual editing marker and provide a framework for linking localized genome edits to coordinated network-level transcriptional responses in plants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants15010096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,29]],"date-time":"2025-12-29T08:47:27Z","timestamp":1766998047000},"page":"96","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["CRISPR\/Cas9-Mediated pds Knockout in Potato Reveals Network-Level Transcriptomic Reorganization Beyond Pigment Loss"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9795-3358","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xianjun","family":"Lai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Panxi Crop Improvement Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, College of Agriculture Science, Xichang University, Liangshan 615000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuxin","family":"Xiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Panxi Crop Improvement Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, College of Agriculture Science, Xichang University, Liangshan 615000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Siqi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Panxi Crop Improvement Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, College of Agriculture Science, Xichang University, Liangshan 615000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yandan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Panxi Crop Improvement Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, College of Agriculture Science, Xichang University, Liangshan 615000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yizheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan Key Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, College of Life Sciences, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zihan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Panxi Crop Improvement Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, College of Agriculture Science, Xichang University, Liangshan 615000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-4115-1358","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shifeng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Panxi Crop Improvement Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, College of Agriculture Science, Xichang University, Liangshan 615000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5916-3726","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lang","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Panxi Crop Improvement Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, College of Agriculture Science, Xichang University, Liangshan 615000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"FAO (2024).
