Laboratory study demonstrates CRISPR-Cas13a resistance to potato spindle tuber viroid in tomato and Nicotiana benthamiana, highlighting a novel strategy for crop protection.
Gene-editing technology, specifically the CRISPR-Cas13a system, has shown promise in breeding plants resistant to RNA viruses. This system targets RNA and, theoretically, can also combat RNA-based viroids. To test this, the CRISPR-Cas13a system was introduced into tomato plants via transient expression and into
