Mapping of the quantitative trait locus (QTL) conferring resistance to rice false smut disease

Current Plant Biology, 2018
Rice false smut disease, caused by Ustilaginoidea virens, is an important grain disease in rice production worldwide. An F2 population of 176 plants was used to conduct quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping for rice false smut disease resistance.

Decoding MAPK cascades in plant immunity: Activation, regulation, integration, and pathogen manipulation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review focuses on mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and summarizes how plants regulate and integrate MAPK signaling in modulating plant immune responses. It also examines the effectors pathogens have evolved to manipulate MAPK activation and thereby inhibit plant immunity.

Fusarium sacchari 14‐3‐3 Protein FsBmh1 Sequesters a Novel Elicitor FsEcm33 to Evade Host Immunity

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
When the elicitor FsEcm33 is sprayed onto Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, it enters the apoplast, triggering PAMP‐triggered immunity (PTI) that depends on NbRE02, NbBAK1, and NbSOBIR1. However, upon Fusarium sacchari infection, FsBmh1 binds FsEcm33 to prevent its localization on the cell surface, escaping PTI to allow colonization.

Late Blight Effector Pi05910 Suppresses Plant Immunity by Promoting Destabilisation of Host Scaffold Protein RACK1

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
The core RXLR effector Pi05910 of P. infestans suppresses host immunity and growth by promoting destabilisation of its binding protein RACK1 via the 26S proteasome pathway, leading to the suppression of PTI and protein translation. ABSTRACT Late blight, caused by oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans, is one of the most devastating diseases of ...
