Improving cassava bacterial blight resistance by editing the epigenome

2022-01-04

Abstract excerpt

Pathogens rely on expression of host susceptibility (S) genes to promote infection and disease. As DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that affects gene expression, blocking access to S genes through targeted methylation could increase disease resistance. Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis , the causal agent of cassava bacterial blight (CBB), uses transcription activator-like20 (TAL20) to induce expres...
