Journal ArticleDOI
A Receptor Kinase-Like Protein Encoded by the Rice Disease Resistance Gene, Xa21
Wen-Yuan Song,Guo-Liang Wang,Lili Chen,Han Suk Kim,Liya Pi,Tom Holsten,John M. Gardner,Bei Wang,Wen Xue Zhai,Li Huang Zhu,Claude M. Fauquet,Pamela C. Ronald +11 more
TL;DR: The rice Xa21 gene, which confers resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. race 6, was isolated by positional cloning and the sequence of the predicted protein, which carries both a leucine-rich repeat motif and a serine-threonine kinase-like domain, suggests a role in cell surface recognition of a pathogen ligand and subsequent activation of an intracellular defense response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functions of OsBZR1 and 14-3-3 proteins in brassinosteroid signaling in rice
Ming-Yi Bai,Liying Zhang,Srinivas S. Gampala,Shengwei Zhu,Wen-Yuan Song,Kang Chong,Zhi-Yong Wang +6 more
TL;DR: A conserved function of OsBZR1 and an important role of 14-3-3 proteins in brassinosteroid signal transduction in rice are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Xa21D Encodes a Receptor-like Molecule with a Leucine-Rich Repeat Domain That Determines Race-Specific Recognition and Is Subject to Adaptive Evolution
Guo-Liang Wang,De Ling Ruan,Wen-Yuan Song,Steve Sideris,Lili Chen,Liya Pi,Shiping Zhang,Zhen Zhang,Claude M. Fauquet,Brandon S. Gaut,Maureen C. Whalen,Pamela C. Ronald +11 more
TL;DR: Both functional and evolutionary evidence indicates that the Xa21D LRR domain controls race-specific pathogen recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of the rice Xa21 disease resistance gene family.
TL;DR: A model for amplification and diversification of the Xa21 gene family is presented and two distinct classes of genes are revealed, including a receptor kinase-like open reading frame and truncated open reading frames of the predicted receptor Kinase.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cloned gene, Xa21, confers resistance to multiple Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae isolates in transgenic plants.
TL;DR: The identical resistance spectrum of both lines indicates that the presence of a single member of a multigene family, Xa21, is sufficient to confer multi-isolate resistance, which has important implications for engineering disease resistance in crop plants.
