Linking CRISPR-Cas9 interference in cassava to the evolution of editing-resistant geminiviruses
Abstract Background Geminiviruses cause damaging diseases in several important crop species. However, limited progress has been made in developing crop varieties resistant to these highly diverse DNA viruses. Recently, the bacterial CRISPR/Cas9 system has been transferred to plants to target and con...
