Powdery Mildew (PM) caused by fungal pathogen Oidium neolycopersici (O. neolycopersici)
affects both greenhouse and field-grown tomato production. Resistance to PM disease can …

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

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 …

Genome editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas, have recently become valuable tools
for plant reverse genetics as well as crop improvement, including enhancement of disease …

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9 (CRISPR-
associated protein 9) technology has emerged as an effective tool for crop improvement. In …

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

Nowadays, agricultural production is strongly affected by both climate change and pathogen
attacks which seriously threaten global food security. For a long time, researchers have …

The Capsicum annuum Mildew Locus O (CaMLO2) gene is vital for plant defense responses
against fungal pathogens like powdery mildew, a significant threat to greenhouse pepper …

Abstract Mildew Locus O (MLO), which encodes a seven-transmembrane domain protein, is
responsible for the development of powdery mildew disease symptoms in many plant …
