Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

Plants have evolved multiple defense strategies to cope with pathogens, among which plant
immune signaling that relies on cell‐surface localized and intracellular receptors takes …

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptor-mediated immunity includes rapid
production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and transcriptional reprogramming, which is …

Pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI) in plants enable them
to respond to pathogens by activating the production of defence metabolites that orchestrate …

Recurrent heat stress and pathogen invasion seriously threaten crop production, and abiotic
stress often antagonizes biotic stress response against pathogens. However, the molecular …

Plant diseases reduce crop yields and threaten global food security, making the selection of
disease-resistant cultivars a major goal of crop breeding. Broad-spectrum resistance (BSR) …

Rice is a global food grain crop for more than one-third of the human population and a
source for food and nutritional security. Rice production is subjected to various stresses; …

The study of plant diseases is almost as old as agriculture itself. Advancements in molecular
biology have given us much more insight into the plant immune system and how it detects …

Crop diseases are major factors responsible for substantial yield losses worldwide, which
affects global food security. The use of resistance (R) genes is an effective and sustainable …

Plant diseases caused by diverse pathogens lead to a serious reduction in crop yield and
threaten food security worldwide. Genetic improvement of plant immunity is considered as …
