Özet

Our understanding of plant–pathogen interactions has undergone significant advancements since the establishment of the gene-for-gene theory proposed by Harold Henry Flor [1,2]. Flor’s studies on the genetic interactions between host resistance genes and pathogen avirulence genes paved the way for further investigations in plant pathology. Over time, the field has witnessed remarkable progress with the advent of molecular biology techniques, such as RNA interference (RNAi) and transgene technologies, enabling precise manipulation of organism genomes, including plants. Among the notable developments in molecular biology, the emergence of site-specific nucleases has played a pivotal role in unraveling the intricacies of plant–pathogen interactions and facilitating the generation of disease-resistant plants.
