Summary: Rice production is affected by various stresses, including nutrient stress. Improper use of pesticides can have harmful effects on the environment and human health. Understanding the interaction between nutrient stress and disease resistance is essential for optimizing fertilizer and pesticide use in rice production.

Summary: The microRNA Osa-miR535 targets OsSPL4 to suppress rice immunity against Magnaporthe oryzae, while overexpression of OsSPL4 enhances blast disease resistance. Additionally, OsSPL4 promotes the expression of GH3.2, which is involved in plant immunity.

Summary: Exposure to high iron enhances resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae infection in rice plants, possibly through upregulating defense-related genes and increasing production of phytoalexins. The infection also modulates the expression of genes involved in iron homeostasis. Iron and reactive oxygen species colocalize at infection sites. Understanding the crosstalk between iron signaling and immune signaling holds great potential for improving blast resistance in rice.

Summary: This article discusses the interplay between nutrient signaling and immune signaling pathways in rice and the role of microRNAs in pathogenic/symbiotic interactions. It also highlights the importance of understanding how disease resistance is regulated by nutrient status in order to develop new strategies for crop protection.

Summary: This study identified the P-type PPR protein PPR5 in rice as crucial for mitochondrial function and endosperm development, by controlling the cis-splicing of mitochondrial nad4 intron 3. Loss of PPR5 function resulted in decreased ATP production, upregulation of alternative oxidases expression, and abnormal mitochondrial morphology, impacting starch and protein content in the endosperm.

Summary: In this study, a blast-resistant rice breeding line, COPSEMAR9, was obtained through hybridization and a high-quality genome sequence was obtained. The presence of rice blast resistance genes and defense-related genes, as well as miRNAs potentially contributing to blast resistance, were identified in COPSEMAR9.

Summary: The sensitivity of rice cultivars to UVB radiation varies due to differences in CPD photolyase activity. Domesticated cultivars in tropical areas with high UVB radiation have high sensitivity and low CPD photolyase activity. This study investigated how CPD photolyase activity affects plant resistance to the rice blast fungus. The results suggest a trade-off between high UVB sensitivity and biotic stress tolerance in tropical rice cultivars.

Summary: In this study, the researchers characterized the interaction of OsWRKY62 and OsWRKY76 with importins, OsIM alpha 1a and OsIM alpha 1b, for nuclear translocation. They found that OsWRKY62.1 has a nuclear localization signal (NLS) and a nuclear export signal (NES), and these signals are responsible for the translocation of OsWRKY62.1 to the nucleus. The researchers also discovered that OsIM alpha 1a and OsIM alpha 1b enhance resistance to M. oryzae, while their knockout mutants decrease resistance to the pathogen.

Summary: OsMADS29 is a seed-specific transcription factor involved in embryo and endosperm development and starch filling during seed development in rice. The upstream regulatory region of OsMADS29 contains both positive and negative regulatory elements, as well as auxin-responsive elements, which guide its development-dependent and spatial expression.
