CRISPR/Cas9-targeted mutagenesis of tobacco DMR6 homeologs reduces seedling susceptibility to Phytophthora nicotianae race 0

Phytophthora nicotianae remains a major threat in tobacco production, and resistance based only on dominant resistance genes can be weakened by race specificity. Editing susceptibility genes therefore offers a complementary way to reduce host susceptibility. Here, we identified two
