The ABCG transporter OsPDR17 mediates transport of 5,10‐diketo‐casbene and enhances disease resistance in rice

Compound 5,10-diketo-casbene (DKC) is a key macrocyclic diterpenoid phytoalexin contributing to rice resistance against bacterial blight. Although its activity depends on transmembrane transport, the transporter of DKC remains unknown. Using transcriptome profiling and a yeast ex...
