Description
Yeeun Jun and eleven co-authors edit a rice gene to resist bacterial blight in a 2025 study. The blight bacterium hijacks rice sugar-export genes, turning them into doors for infection. Knocking out one such gene, a SWEET family member, has protected other rice varieties.
The team used gene editing to disable the gene in Samkwang, an elite Korean variety. The edited line resisted the test strain better than the parent line. Gene activity scans showed defense genes quieter in the edited plants after infection, a sign the bacterium gained less foothold. The authors also chart plant traits to check for yield costs. Their care reflects a breeding rule: resistance must not drag down the harvest.
