Engineering Smut Resistance in Maize by Site-Directed Mutagenesis of LIPOXYGENASE 3

Engineering Smut Resistance in Maize by Site-Directed Mutagenesis of LIPOXYGENASE 3

Biotic stresses caused by microbial pathogens impair crop yield and quality if not restricted by expensive and often ecologically problematic pesticides. For a sustainable agriculture of tomorrow, breeding or engineering of pathogen-resistant crop varieties is therefore a major cornerstone. Maize is...
