Andrew Read, Graduate Student
Cornell University, Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology, 1177 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins, CO 80523 USA acr242@cornell.edu
I'm interested in using genome editing to learn more about the mechanism of this susceptibility, specifically by making changes to the putative sulfate transporter OsSULTR3;6. Understanding how Xanthomonas increases susceptibility will inform breeding for increased resistance through traditional or genome editing methods.
