Beyond its remarkable genome editing ability, the CRISPR/Cas9 effector has also been
utilized in biosensing applications. The recent discovery of the collateral RNA cleavage …

To meet increasing global food demand, breeders and scientists aim to improve the yield
and quality of major food crops. Plant diseases threaten food security and are expected to …

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) …

The use of pathogen-resistant cultivars is expected to increase yield and decrease fungicide
use in agriculture. However, in potato breeding, increased resistance obtained via …

To ensure the food security of future generations and to address the challenge of the 'no
hunger zone'proposed by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), crop production …

Fruits are major sources of essential nutrients and serve as staple foods in some areas of
the world. The increasing human population and changes in climate experienced worldwide …

Bacterial diseases are a constant threat to crop production globally. Current management
strategies rely on an array of tactics, including improved cultural practices; application of …

Genome editing technology has rapidly evolved to knock-out genes, create targeted genetic
variation, install precise insertion/deletion and single nucleotide changes, and perform large …

Plant diseases reduce crop yields and threaten global food security, making the selection of
disease-resistant cultivars a major goal of crop breeding. Broad-spectrum resistance (BSR) …

Wheat crops are frequently devastated by pandemic stripe rust caused by Puccinia
striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Here, we identify and characterize a wheat receptor-like …
