PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for editing the genome of a plant without the use of a callus or tissue piece in an in vitro culture system.SOLUTION: According to the present invention, there is provided a method for editing the genome of a plant. The method comprises the steps of: coating at least one kind of nucleic acid and/or at least one kind of protein on fine particles having a diameter of 0.3 μm or more and 1.5 μm or less; and striking the coated fine particles onto the shoot apexes of embryos of ripened seeds using a gene gun; growing the shoot apexes with the struck coated fine particles to obtain plant bodies; and selecting a genome-edited plant body from the plant bodies.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4【課題】in vitro培養系のカルス又は組織片を用いない植物のゲノム編集方法を提供する。【解決手段】植物のゲノム編集方法であって、直径0.3μm以上1.5μm以下の微粒子を、少なくとも1種の核酸および/または少なくとも1種のタンパク質により被覆する工程と、該被覆した微粒子を遺伝子銃を用いて完熟種子の胚の茎頂に撃ち込む工程と、該被覆した微粒子を撃ち込んだ茎頂を生育させ、植物体を得る工程と、該植物体からゲノム編集された植物体を選択する工程とを含む、方法。【選択図】図4
