Article Synopsis
- CRISPR-Cas technologies help researchers understand plant genes and improve crop traits through precise breeding techniques.
- The review discusses new developments in plant genome editing, including innovative CRISPR-Cas systems and methods that don’t rely on DNA delivery.
- By showcasing how CRISPR-Cas can enhance crop performance and food quality, the text emphasizes the role of genome-edited crops in promoting sustainable agriculture and ensuring food security.
Introduction: Mounier-Kuhn syndrome or tracheobronchomegaly, is a rare condition that consists of abnormal dilation of the trachea and main bronchi due to a pathological arrangement of smooth muscle fibers in this area.
Case Report: We present the case of a 46-year-old woman with poorly controlled asthma and recurrent infections, who was diagnosed with Mounier-Kuhn syndrome through a computed tomography scan revealing an unusual enlargement of the trachea with associated bronchiectasis.
Results: The diagnosis of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome is radiological, involving measurement of the trachea where a diameter >25 mm in men and >21 mm in women is observed.
Resistance to cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) strain LS in melon is controlled by the gene , which restricts phloem entry. In nature, CMV is commonly found in mixed infections, particularly with potyviruses, where a synergistic effect is frequently produced. We have explored the possibility that this synergism could help CMV-LS to overcome -mediated resistance.
