  abstract = {{A}lternatives to protect crops against diseases are desperately needed to secure world food production and make agriculture more sustainable. {G}enetic resistance to pathogens utilized so far is mostly based on single dominant resistance genes that mediate specific recognition of invaders and that is often rapidly broken by pathogen variants. {P}erturbation of plant susceptibility ({S}) genes offers an alternative providing plants with recessive resistance that is proposed to be more durable. {S} genes enable the establishment of plant disease, and their inactivation provides opportunities for resistance breeding of crops. {H}owever, loss of {S} gene function can have pleiotropic effects. {D}evelopments in genome editing technology promise to provide powerful methods to precisely interfere with crop {S} gene functions and reduce tradeoffs.},
