Towards Engineering Broad-Spectrum Disease-Resistant Crops

Crop pathologists and breeders are pursuing not only mechanistic understanding of plant–pathogen interactions but also engineering durable and broad-spectrum disease-resistant cultivars. Both goals are achieved in three recent studies by stacking editing of regulatory elements within promoters of su...

Zusammenfassung:Crop pathologists and breeders are pursuing not only mechanistic understanding of plant–pathogen interactions but also engineering durable and broad-spectrum disease-resistant cultivars. Both goals are achieved in three recent studies by stacking editing of regulatory elements within promoters of susceptibility genes for blight disease in rice.
