Abstract:
Plant pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses infect plants, causing large financial losses and threatening sustainability of agriculture. The complexities of the plant immune system have been summarised, as well as the use of CRISPR-Cas9 to alter the various components of the plant immune system in order to obtain long-lasting resistance in plants against plant pathogens. CRISPR/Cas technology has proven to be one of the most effective genome editing method in all genome editing tools in modeling plants and crops against diseases. The recent breakthroughs in plant protection employing CRISPR/Cas9 technology in model plants and commodities in response to viral, fungal, and bacterial pathogens are the topic of this review. Here, we are giving an overview of history and different CRISPR/Cas9 systems, the derived methods for designing in plant pathology.
