Genome editing produces mildew-resistant tomato
In a study published in Scientific Reports, researchers report on generating, in less than 10 months, Tomelo, a non-transgenic tomato variety resistant to the powdery mildew fungal pathogen using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which is based on the Cas9 DNA nuclease guided to a specific DNA target by a single guide RNA (sgRNA).
