similar process had been used by other
scientists that enabled only a single
susceptibility gene.
Lukasiewicz's work is the fi rst to
mutate several genes in a single pass.
Knocking out several genes in a single
blow could radically boost the plant's
defense mechanisms, or even prevent
infestation altogether.
" In my research, I took advantage
of the high similarity between
susceptibility genes in diff erent plant
species, " Lukasiewicz said. " We were
able to identify a total of 87 genes in the
potato genome that we strongly suspect
to be susceptibility genes. Within this
set of genes, we then made a selection
and several of these we were able to
successfully modify using the CRISPRCas
technique. "
Since Lukasiewicz defended her thesis
in November 2023, Tom Eeckhaut, a
plant science researcher at ILVO and
one of Lukasiewicz's PhD supervisors,
has continued the work.
" The gene-edited plants are still
being tested and trials are planned, "
Researcher Ania Lukasiewicz succeeded in mutating several suspected susceptibility
genes simultaneously in one pass. Previous scientists were only able to mutate a single
susceptibility gene.
