Pathogenic microbes are responsible for severe production losses in crops worldwide. The
use of disease resistant crop varieties can be a sustainable approach to meet the food …

Genome editing has emerged as a technology with a potential to revolutionize plant
breeding. In this study, we report on generating, in less than ten months, Tomelo, a non …

Plant diseases are among the major causes of crop yield losses around the world. To confer
disease resistance, conventional breeding relies on the deployment of single resistance (R) …

Crop production has been substantially reduced by devastating fungal and oomycete
pathogens, and these pathogens continue to threaten global food security. Although …

Genome editing by sequence-specific nucleases (SSNs) has revolutionized biology by
enabling targeted modifications of genomes. Although routine plant genome editing …

Plant pathogens pose a major threat to crop productivity. Typically, phytopathogens exploit
plants' susceptibility (S) genes to facilitate their proliferation. Disrupting these S genes may …

Since its discovery as a bacterial adaptive immune system and its development for genome
editing in eukaryotes, the CRISPR technology has revolutionized plant research and …

Background The development of CRISPR/Cas9 technology has facilitated targeted
mutagenesis in an efficient and precise way. Previously, RNAi silencing of the susceptibility …

Crop production worldwide is under pressure from multiple factors, including reductions in
available arable land and sources of water, along with the emergence of new pathogens …

The combined availability of whole genome sequences and genome editing tools is set to
revolutionize the field of fruit biotechnology by enabling the introduction of targeted genetic …
