Rice blast, as the "cancer" of rice, can cause rice production to decrease or even cease.
The internationally renowned academic journal "Nature" (Nature) published online on December 16th, Beijing time, a research paper by He Zuhua's research team from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealing a new basic metabolic regulation network of plant immunity, which is rice Disease-resistant breeding provides new ideas and helps reduce the use of pesticides.
Studies have found that the immune receptor NLR in plant cells will "fight" with pathogenic bacteria to protect another rice immunoregulatory protein PICI1 that helps fight diseases, thereby building a "fortress" of defensive chemicals and improving plant disease resistance .
