Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Metabolic pathway gene editing in tetraploid potato enhanced resistance to late blight. Multiallelic mutation correction of a caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase gene increased accumulation of resistance metabolites in Russet Burbank potato. Late blight of potato is a devastating disease worldwide and requires weekly applications of fungicides to manage. Genetic improvement is the best option, but the...
