Scientists engineer self-arming immune receptors for virus-resistant crops
Original: Scientists engineer self-arming immune receptors to give crops broad-spectrum virus resistance
Researchers have engineered plant immune receptors that arm themselves automatically upon detecting viral invaders, giving crops broad-spectrum resistance to viruses. The advance could reduce crop losses and lessen reliance on chemical treatments, and it is drawing attention from the agricultural biotechnology community as a promising tool for protecting staple food crops against multiple plant viruses at once.
Why now: Breakthrough gene-engineering research promising broad virus resistance in crops has been newly announced
