Bioengineering strategy for protection from plant pathogens could help support global food security

Bioengineering strategy for protection from plant pathogens could help support global food security

By modifying a plant intracellular immune receptor (NLR), researchers have developed a potential new strategy for resistance to rice blast disease, one of the most important diseases threatening global food security. The collaborative team from the UK and Japan have recently published their research in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This could have…
