Tomato and cotton G protein beta subunit mutants display constitutive autoimmune responses
Abstract Heterotrimeric G protein Gβ‐deficient mutants in rice and maize display constitutive immune responses, whereas Arabidopsis Gβ mutants show impaired defense, suggesting the existence of functional differences between monocots and dicots. Using CRISPR/Cas9, we produced one hemizygous tomato l...
