Probably the most known and best studied type of plant resistance to pathogenic infections
is the hypersensitive response (HR), a form of localized programmed cell death associated …

Lesion‐mimic mutants (LMMs) provide a valuable tool to reveal the molecular mechanisms
determining programmed cell death (PCD) in plants. Despite intensive research, the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in many important processes, including the
growth, development, and responses to the environments, in rice (Oryza sativa) and …

Programmed cell death (PCD) plays critical roles in plant immunity but must be regulated to
prevent excessive damage. The E3 ubiquitin ligase SPL11 negatively regulates PCD and …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in rice response to Magnaporthe oryzae, the
causative agent of rice blast disease. Studying the roles of rice miRNAs is of great …

Lesion-mimic mutants are useful to dissect programmed cell death and defense-related
pathways in plants. Here we identified a new rice lesion-mimic mutant, spotted leaf 33 …

Lesion mimic mutants that exhibit spontaneous hypersensitive response (HR)‐like necrotic
lesions are ideal experimental systems for elucidating molecular mechanisms involved in …

Southern corn rust (SCR) caused by Puccinia polysora Underw. poses a major threat to
maize production worldwide. The utilization of host SCR-resistance genes and the …

Lesion mimic mutants commonly display spontaneous cell death in pre-senescent green
leaves under normal conditions, without pathogen attack. Despite molecular and phenotypic …

Reversible protein ubiquitination plays essential roles in regulating cellular processes.
Although many reports have described the functions of ubiquitination in plant defense …
