Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CLso) is a phloem-limited, fastidious bacterium associated with the potato (Solanum tuberosum) zebra chip disease. It is transmitted by the potato psyllid (Bactericera cockerelli Šulc.) and causes significant economic losses globally (Mora et al., 2021). Developing disease resistance by conventional breeding has shown limited success (Mora et al., 2022), thus necessitating new genetic engineering or genome editing approaches.
