Journal ArticleDOI
Rice WRKY45 Plays a Crucial Role in Benzothiadiazole-Inducible Blast Resistance
Masaki Shimono,Shoji Sugano,Akira Nakayama,Chang-Jie Jiang,Kazuko Ono,Seiichi Toki,Hiroshi Takatsuji +6 more
TL;DR: A role for WRKY45 is proposed in BTH-induced and SA-mediated defense signaling in rice and its potential utility in improving disease resistance of rice, an importance food resource worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abscisic acid interacts antagonistically with salicylic acid signaling pathway in rice-Magnaporthe grisea interaction.
Chang-Jie Jiang,Masaki Shimono,Shoji Sugano,Mikiko Kojima,Katsumi Yazawa,Riichiro Yoshida,Haruhiko Inoue,Nagao Hayashi,Hitoshi Sakakibara,Hiroshi Takatsuji +9 more
TL;DR: Characterization of an antagonistic interaction of abscisic acid (ABA) with salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathways in the rice-Magnaporthe grisea interaction suggests that the balance of SA and ABA signaling is an important determinant for the outcome of the Rice-M.
Journal ArticleDOI
WRKY76 is a rice transcriptional repressor playing opposite roles in blast disease resistance and cold stress tolerance
Naoki Yokotani,Yuko Sato,Shigeru Tanabe,Tetsuya Chujo,Takafumi Shimizu,Kazunori Okada,Hisakazu Yamane,Masaki Shimono,Shoji Sugano,Hiroshi Takatsuji,Hisatoshi Kaku,Eiichi Minami,Yoko Nishizawa +12 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that OsWRKY76 plays dual and opposing roles in blast disease resistance and cold tolerance, as well as the increased expression of abiotic stress-associated genes such as peroxidase and lipid metabolism genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rice WRKY45 plays important roles in fungal and bacterial disease resistance
Masaki Shimono,Hironori Koga,Aya Akagi,Nagao Hayashi,Shingo Goto,Miyuki Sawada,Takayuki Kurihara,Akane Matsushita,Shoji Sugano,Chang-Jie Jiang,Hisatoshi Kaku,Haruhiko Inoue,Hiroshi Takatsuji +12 more
TL;DR: The results indicate the versatility and limitations of the application of this gene, and a universal role for WRKY45 in chemical-induced resistance, in rice.
Journal ArticleDOI
The plant actin cytoskeleton responds to signals from microbe-associated molecular patterns.
Jessica L. Henty-Ridilla,Masaki Shimono,Jiejie Li,Jeff H. Chang,Brad Day,Christopher J. Staiger +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that actin polymerization is necessary for the increase in actin filament density and that blocking this increase with the actin-disrupting drug latrunculin B leads to enhanced susceptibility of host plants to pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria.
