Editing Susceptibility Genes for Broad-Spectrum Resistance in Plants: From Passive Knockout to Active Design.

This Opinion article argues that susceptibility gene editing is shifting from passive knockout to active design. We propose three strategies—targeting conserved host nodes, synergizing S gene knockout with R gene pyramiding and tailored precision editing—to achieve broad‐spectrum resistance without yield penalties.

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
