Journal ArticleDOI

Demonstration of CRISPR/Cas9/sgRNA-mediated targeted gene modification in Arabidopsis, tobacco, sorghum and rice

TL;DR: Adaptations of the type II CRISPR/Cas system leading to successful expression of the Cas9/sgRNA system in model plant and crop species bodes well for its near-term use as a facile and powerful means of plant genetic engineering for scientific and agricultural applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-efficiency TALEN-based gene editing produces disease-resistant rice

TL;DR: TALEN technology is exploited to edit a specific S gene in rice to thwart the virulence strategy of X. oryzae and thereby engineer heritable genome modifications for resistance to bacterial blight, a devastating disease in a crop that feeds half of the world’s population.
Journal ArticleDOI

TAL nucleases (TALNs): hybrid proteins composed of TAL effectors and FokI DNA-cleavage domain

TL;DR: The creation and initial characterization of a group of rare-cutting, site-specific DNA nucleases produced by fusion of the restriction enzyme FokI endonuclease domain (FN) with the high-specificity DNA-binding domains of AvrXa7 and PthXo1 are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Os8N3 is a host disease-susceptibility gene for bacterial blight of rice

TL;DR: The findings indicate that Os8N3 is a host susceptibility gene for bacterial blight targeted by the type III effector PthXo1, and support a model in which the pathogen induces disease susceptibility in a gene-for-gene manner.
