- Title
Editorial: Plant Disease Management in the Post-genomic Era: From Functional Genomics to Genome Editing.

- Abstract
Also from the host-plant side, genomics and post-genomics techniques are actually giving wide opportunities to understand diseases and stress tolerance, as well as to design innovative control strategies, as overviewed by Leonetti et al. on chickpea. This is the case of RNA interference (RNAi) as well as genome editing technologies that, with a rapid progress, has become an important genetic tool to " I touch up i " the genome of host plants or pathogens, as well as of beneficial microorganisms (Collinge, [1]; Nødvig et al., [6]). The CRISPR/Cas9 technology applied to plants was reviewed by Borrelli et al. as a tool to implement pathogen resistance, thus representing the natural consequence of years spent in deciphering and reading genomes.
