Journal ArticleDOI

The Most Precious Things Are Not Jade and Pearls...

TL;DR: The recent publication of the draft genome sequences of two subspecies of rice ( indica and japonica) is a boon for plant biologists as mentioned in this paper, and they discuss the impact of the rice genome on our understanding of cereal crop biology and its importance for improving yields of one of the world's most important foods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism and function of root circumnutation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multiscale investigation of root circumnutation in rice has been conducted, identifying key cell signaling events comprising interaction of the ethylene, cytokinin, and auxin hormone signaling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mimicry modulates plant host responses to pathogens.

TL;DR: This Viewpoint reviews the literature on microbial molecules produced by plant pathogens that functionally mimic molecules present in the plant host and includes examples from nematodes, bacteria and fungi with emphasis on RaxX, a microbial protein produced by the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv.Oryzae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced expression of glycolate oxidase leads to enhanced disease resistance in rice.

TL;DR: Inducible silencing of GLO1 is demonstrated, employing a dexamethasone-GVG (Gal4 DNA binding domain-VP16 activation domain-glucocorticoid receptor fusion) inducible system, which results in enhanced resistance to Xoo, increased expression of defense regulators NH1, NH3, and WRKY45, and activation of PR1 expression.
