Project Overview: Improving Plant Resistance Against Biotic Stress Using CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing

Biotic stress, which includes damage caused by pests, diseases, and weeds, is a major threat to agricultural productivity worldwide. Traditional methods of breeding for resistance to these stresses can be time-consuming and imprecise. However, recent advancements in genome editing technologies, particularly CRISPR-Cas9, have opened up new possibilities for enhancing plant resistance in a more targeted and efficient manner.

The central theme of this project is to harness the power of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to engineer plants with enhanced resistance against biotic stress factors. By precisely targeting specific genes associated with defense mechanisms in plants, we aim to improve their ability to withstand attacks from pathogens and pests.

The project will involve several key steps, including:

Identification of target genes involved in plant defense mechanisms
Designing CRISPR-Cas9 constructs to target and modify these genes
Delivery of the CRISPR-Cas9 constructs into plant cells
Regeneration of edited plants and screening for desired traits
Evaluation of the edited plants for enhanced resistance against biotic stress factors

By successfully improving plant resistance against biotic stress using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, this project aims to contribute towards sustainable agriculture practices by reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides and promoting environmentally friendly solutions. Additionally, the knowledge gained from this study can pave the way for the development of new strategies to combat biotic stresses in a variety of crop species, ultimately benefitting farmers and consumers alike.
