Engineering Bacterial Blight Resistance in Rice by PE-Mediated Insertion of Multiple EBEs into the Xa23 Promoter
Bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is the most serious bacterial disease that seriously reduces the yield of rice. Previous studies showed that insertion of effector binding elements (EBEs) into the Xa23 promoter can confer resistance to various Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in O. sativa jap...
