Abstract

Host–pathogen interaction and crosstalk are very crucial to study disease susceptibility and resistance. Various susceptibility genes (S-genes) have been reported and studied for understanding the mechanism of disease development in plants. Developing disease resistance using modern techniques is dependent on a comprehensive understanding of the role of susceptibility genes in disease development. By disrupting susceptibility genes in the host, resistance has been developed in rice, tomato, pepper, and many other plants. More precisely, in the case of bacterial blight, effector-binding elements (EBE) in the promoter region of the S-gene are important targets to restrict bacterial transcription factor proteins from S-gene activation. Identification of S-genes along with R-genes is very important for building the foundation of third-generation disease resistance in plants.
