Abstract excerpt
Barley grown in temperate regions is often challenged by powdery mildew disease. An effective solution is mildew resistance locus o (mlo)-based resistance, which is monogenic, durable, and broad-spectrum. While the pleiotropic effects of mlo mutations on above-ground tissues are well documented, their impact on the root-associated microbiome remains underexplored. We utilized CRISPR/Cas9 to generate novel mlo...
