Abstract

CRISPR-Cas genome editing is revolutionizing plant disease resistance by enabling precise genetic modifications for enhanced crop immunity. This technology facilitates targeting pathogen susceptibility genes or introducing novel resistance traits, leading to broad-spectrum and durable resistance against fungi, viruses, and bacteria. Applications include engineering rice for bacterial blight resistance and improving overall plant immunity. Integrating multi-omics approaches further accelerates crop improvement, allowing for precision breeding. These advancements promise more resilient crops, higher yields, and reduced chemical dependency, fundamentally transforming sustainable agriculture by dissecting and engineering plant-pathogen interactions.
