Article Abstract
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. Previously, we identified a defence-related (DR) gene encoding a small heat shock protein, OsHsp18.0-CI, that positively regulates BLS and BB resistance in rice.
Results: To reveal the regulatory mechanism of the OsHsp18.0-CI response to Xoc and Xoo, we characterized the class B heat shock factor (Hsf), OsHsfB4d, through transcriptional analysis and a transgenic study. OsHsfB4d is upregulated post inoculation by either the Xoc strain RS105 or Xoo strain PXO99a in Zhonghua 11 (wild type, ZH11) as well as in OsHsp18.0-CI overexpressing rice plants. Transient expression of OsHsfB4d can activate the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and luciferase (Luc) via the OsHsp18.0-CI promoter. Rice plants overexpressing OsHsfB4d exhibited enhanced resistance to RS105 and PXO99a as well as increased expression of OsHsp18.0-CI and pathogenesis-related genes. Furthermore, we found that OsHsfB4d directly binds to a DNA fragment carrying the only perfect heat shock element (HSE) in the promoter of OsHsp18.0-CI.
Conclusion: Overall, we reveal that OsHsfB4d, a class B Hsf, acts as a positive regulator of OsHsp18.0-CI to mediate BLS and BB resistance in rice.

In the intricate molecular warfare between plants and pathogens, bacteria deploy sophisticated strategies to subvert host defenses. Xanthomonas oryzae pathogens, which cause devastating bacterial blight (BB) and bacterial leaf streak (BLS) in rice, utilize transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) to manipulate host gene expression. Secreted by the type III secretion system and translocated by the type III translocon into host cells, TALEs directly bind specific DNA sequences (effector-binding elements, EBEs) in the 5'-terminal untranslated regions (UTRs) or within the promoter regions of host genes to activate transcription of these genes, including SWEETs sugar transporters and negative regulators of plant immunity (Xue et al.

Background: Global crop yields suffer severe losses due to pathogenic infections, and the drug resistance of traditional fungicides has become a prominent issue. Developing new fungicides with high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and low toxicity has become an important task in agricultural plant protection, which also promotes natural product-derived green pesticides to become a research hotspot.
Results: 30 formononetin derivatives incorporating isopropanolamine moieties were rationally designed and synthesized as potential plant disease control agents.
