Genome Editing of eIF4E1 in Tomato Confers Resistance to Pepper Mottle Virus

Genome Editing of eIF4E1 in Tomato Confers Resistance to Pepper Mottle Virus

Many of the recessive virus-resistance genes in plants encode eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIFs), including eIF4E, eIF4G, and related proteins. Notably, eIF4E and its isoform eIF(iso)4E are pivotal for viral infection and act as recessive resistance genes against various potyviruses in...
