DOI: 10.1111/ppa.12833
Abstract: Deployment of resistant varieties is a key strategy to mitigating economic losses due to arthropodâtransmitted plant pathogens of perennial crops. In many cases, the best available resistant traits for introgression confer only partial resistance. Plants… read more here.

DOI: 10.1134/s0006297918120131
Abstract: The use of the CRISPR/Cas9 prokaryotic adaptive immune system has led to a breakthrough in targeted genome editing in eukaryotes. The CRISPR/Cas technology allows to generate organisms with desirable characteristics by introducing deletions/insertions into selected… read more here.
