Multiple approaches for CRISPR-based targeting of DNA methylation to promoters of bacterial and viral susceptibility genes in cassava
Targeted epigenetic modifications of specific gene regulatory regions have the potential to confer beneficial traits for crop improvement. Two recently developed CRISPR/Cas9-based epigenome editing tools were tested in transgenic cassava to target cytosine methylation to the promoter region of MeSWEET10a, a necessary gene for infection by the Cassava bacterial blight pathogen, Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis. The two systems leverage unique methyltransferases, and each induced distinct...
