miR169 is a conserved microRNA (miRNA) family involved in plant development and stress-induced
responses. However, how miR169 functions in rice immunity remains unclear. Here…

We demonstrate a compact wavelength-tunable and -switchable mode-locked Yb-doped fiber
(YDF) laser based on single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) wall paper absorber. Two …

Grain formation is fundamental for crop yield but is vulnerable to abiotic and biotic stresses.
Rice grain production is threatened by the false smut fungus Ustilaginoidea virens, which …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play roles in various biological processes, but their functions in the
rice (Oryza sativa) response to Magnaporthe oryzae remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate …

Rice false smut has emerged as a serious grain disease in rice production worldwide. The
disease is characterized by the transformation of individual rice florets into false smut balls, …

The critical role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ (PI3Kγ) in inflammatory cell activation and
recruitment makes it an attractive target for immunomodulatory therapy. 5-Quinoxilin-6-…

The flower-infecting fungus Ustilaginoidea virens causes rice false smut, which is a severe
emerging disease threatening rice (Oryza sativa) production worldwide. False smut not only …

Magnaporthe oryzae is the causative agent of rice blast, a devastating disease in rice
worldwide. Based on the gene-for-gene paradigm, resistance (R) proteins can recognize their …

Rice production is threatened by multiple pathogens. Breeding cultivars with broad‐spectrum
disease resistance is necessary to maintain and improve crop production. Previously we …

microRNAs act as fine-tuners in the regulation of plant growth and resistance against biotic
and abiotic stress. Here we demonstrate that rice miR1432 fine-tunes yield and blast disease …
