🌾 Using #CRISPR to knock out certain genes, researchers developed rice that was more susceptible to sheath blight and other infections.
By shedding light to the mechanisms of disease resistance, the study paves way to the development of resistant rice varieties.

🌱 #NGTs have helped us better understand plants natural defence pathways against drought – enabling the development of climate-tolerant crops.
But turning innovation into impact needs farmer trust, guidance & cross-disciplinary collaboration.
