Advances in susceptibility genes and potential control strategy for plant nematodes
Plant nematodes cause serious economic losses in agriculture and forestry,making the development of efficient,environmentally friendly control technologies imperative.Breeding disease-resistant varieties using resistance genes is one of the most economical and effective measures.Recent research has shown that editing plant susceptibility genes can enhance plant resistance to nematodes.This paper summarizes the research progress of regulatory mechanism of susceptibility genes,status of using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to modify these genes for promoting resistance to plant nematode disease.This review supports the management of plant nematodes through genetic modification strategies.
