Article Abstract
Rice blast, caused by , is one of the main rice diseases worldwide. The pyramiding of blast-resistance () genes, coupled to Marker-Assisted BackCrossing (MABC), provides broad-spectrum and potentially durable resistance while limiting the donor genome in the background of an elite cultivar. In this work, MABC coupled to foreground and background selections based on KASP marker assays has been applied to introgress four genes (, and ) in a renowned Italian rice variety, highly susceptible to blast. Molecular analyses on the backcross (BC) lines highlighted the presence of an additional blast-resistance gene, the -linked / gene, therefore increasing the number of blast-resistance introgressed genes to five. The recurrent genome was recovered up to 95.65%. Several lines carrying four (including ) genes with high recovery percentage levels were also obtained. Phenotypic evaluations confirmed the effectiveness of the pyramided lines against multivirulent strains, which also had broad patterns of resistance in comparison to those expected based on the pyramided genes. The developed blast-resistant lines represent useful donors of multiple blast-resistance genes for future rice-breeding programs related to the group.

Light and darkness are critical environmental factors that regulate plant immune responses. OsPIL1, a phytochrome-interacting factor-like protein, has been implicated in rice immunity against Magnaporthe oryzae, although its underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to dissect how OsPIL1 integrates light or darkness to modulate rice immunity.

Resistance breeding for rice blast is an economic strategy for protecting rice crops against this disease. Genes with nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) structures are known to contribute to disease resistance. Here, we identified a candidate resistance gene, named (t), associated with leaf and panicle blasts in an introgression line carrying the chromosome 4 segment of wild rice ( Griff.

Background: Rice blast disease, caused by the fungal pathogen , stands as the most destructive diseaset of rice, negatively impacting yield and quality. Identification of blast resistance genes is crucial for breeding disease resistant varieties. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide association analysis on rice blast with 295 Japonica rice varieties and the rice blast dominant physiological race ZD5 from Heilongjiang.

E3 ubiquitin ligases, as key components of the protein ubiquitination process, play a crucial role in rice immunity. We previously demonstrated that the E3 ligase OsBBI1 modulates rice blast resistance. Here, we report the OsBBI1-OsSUI1-nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD)-alternatively splicing (AS) network as a regulatory mechanism of OsBBI1 in rice immunity.
