Abstract
The intracellular and extracellular plant pathogens cause economically significant loss to agricultural products worldwide. Genome editing technologies, especially the CRISPR/cas system, have recently been used in different fields in order to improve both quality and yield in agricultural products. The CRISPR/cas system which provides defense in microorganisms against bacteria, archaea, phage and foreign plasmids is a tool that offers unique opportunities for research and regulation of agricultural properties. In this review, the effectiveness of the CRSPR/cas system in the fight against phyto-pathogens causing diseases was discussed. In addition, the current status of modifications through the CRISPR/cas system of genes that play a role in resistance and susceptibility to the host plant against fungi, bacteria and viruses was revealed. The CRISPR/cas system has been shown to be effective in providing resistance to phyto-pathogens that have destructive effects on plants. Advances in genome editing and the production of transgene-free plants with CRISPR/Cas will enable the development of new disease management and control strategies in plant pathology. In the future, it will be possible to develop resistant plants to more than one pathogen simultaneously with CRISPR/cas genome editing technology.
