Hos2-mediated KatG1 decrotonylation orchestrates ROS scavenging in rice blast infection

In plant–pathogen interaction, plants trigger reactive oxygen species (ROS) bursts to defend against pathogen invasion, while pathogens evolved antioxidant systems to scavenge ROS for infection. Our study reveals a regulatory mechanism of ROS adaptation and scavenging in the rice...

Natural variation in SL6 determines fatty acid components and seed longevity in rice

Seed longevity (SL) is vital for ensuring food security worldwide. However, the genetic basis of SL has been scarcely documented. Here, we report the cloning of a major SL locus, qSL6 , encoding a fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase type B. SL6 is functionally conserved in regulating pal...
