Article Abstract

Background: The small heat shock proteins represent a large family of proteins that respond to a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses. OsHsp18.0-CI confers tolerance to salt and cadmium and interacts with viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). However, the direct function of OsHsp18.0-CI in resistance against biotic stresses remains unclear in rice.

Results: Here, we report that the expression of OsHsp18.0-CI was up-regulated upon inoculation with RS105, a strain of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) that causes bacterial leaf streak in rice. In comparison with wild-type, OsHsp18.0-CI overexpression (OE) lines exhibited enhanced resistance to RS105, whereas repression lines exhibited compromised resistance to RS105. In addition, the transcriptional profiles of wild type and OE lines were compared with and without inoculation with RS105. After inoculation with RS105, most of the genes with up-regulated expression were commonly stimulated in the wild type and OE lines, with stronger induction in the OE lines than in wild type.

Conclusion: Our study reveals that OsHsp18.0-CI positively regulates resistance to Xoc by mediating an enhanced version of the basal defense response in rice.

Background: Two-tiered plant immune responses involve cross-talk among defense-responsive (DR) genes involved in pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI), effector-triggered immunity (ETI) and effector-triggered susceptibility (ETS). Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) is an important bacterial disease that causes serious threats to rice yield and quality.

Background: Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) and bacterial blight (BB) are two major prevalent and devastating rice bacterial diseases caused by the Gram-negative bacteria of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) help plants recognize and respond to fungal polygalacturonases, playing a key role in innate immunity, but the relationship between rice OsPGIPs and the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (causing bacterial leaf streak) is not well understood.
  • The study found that OsPGIP1 is activated after rice is infected with Xoc, and that rice lines overexpressing OsPGIP1 show increased resistance to the bacterial strain RS105, while lines with reduced OsPGIP1 expression have decreased resistance.
  • Further analysis revealed unique responses in OsPGIP1-overexpressing lines, such as higher

A rice allele of PSKR1 functioning in resistance to bacterial leaf streak was identified. Phytosulfokine (PSK), a disulfated pentapeptide encoded by precursor genes that are ubiquitously present in higher plants, belongs to the group of plant peptide growth factors. The PSK receptor PSKR1 in Arabidopsis thaliana is an active kinase and has guanylate cyclase activity resulting in dual-signaling outputs.
