Abstract
Genome engineering technologies allow the generation of crops with increased disease resistance, though selecting suitable targets remains challenging. Our team has published two recent studies that highlight the potential of engineering plant immune proteases as an alternative approach to generating disease resistant plants.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Experimental Botany publishes high-quality primary research and review papers in the plant sciences. These papers cover a range of disciplines from molecular and cellular physiology and biochemistry through whole plant physiology to community physiology.
Full-length primary papers should contribute to our understanding of how plants develop and function, and should provide new insights into biological processes. The journal will not publish purely descriptive papers or papers that report a well-known process in a species in which the process has not been identified previously. Articles should be concise and generally limited to 10 printed pages.
