Crop pathologists and breeders are pursuing not only mechanistic understanding of plant–pathogen interactions but also engineering durable and broad-spectrum disease-resistant cultivars. Both goals are achieved in three recent studies by stacking editing of regulatory elements within promoters of susceptibility genes for blight disease in rice.

致力于工程学广谱抗病作物。

作物病理学家和育种者不仅追求对植物与病原体相互作用的机械理解，而且还在设计耐用的和广谱抗病品种。在最近的三项研究中，通过将水稻白叶枯病易感基因启动子中调控元件的编辑叠加在一起，实现了这两个目标。
