Plant diseases are responsible for substantial crop losses each year and pose a threat to
global food security and agricultural sustainability. Improving crop resistance to pathogens …

Quantitative resistance has gained interest in plant breeding for pathogen control in low-
input crop** systems. Although quantitative resistance frequently has only a partial effect …

Resistance (R) proteins recognize pathogen avirulence (Avr) proteins by direct or indirect
binding and are multidomain proteins generally carrying a nucleotide binding (NB) and a …

Rice is the staple diet of more than three billion people. Yields must double over the next 40
years if we are to sustain the nutritional needs of the ever-expanding global population …

Background This article describes the development of Multi-parent Advanced Generation
Inter-Cross populations (MAGIC) in rice and discusses potential applications for map** …

Blast disease caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae is the most severe
diseases of rice. Using classical plant breeding techniques, breeders have developed a …

Rice (Oryza sativa) plays a significant role in achieving global food security. However, it
suffers from several biotic and abiotic stresses that seriously affect its production. Rice blast …

Abstract Knowledge remains limited about how fungal pathogens that colonize living plant
cells translocate effector proteins inside host cells to regulate cellular processes and …

Rice production needs to be sustained in the coming decades, as the changeable climatic
conditions are becoming more conducive to disease outbreaks. The majority of rice …

Attack and counter‐attack impose strong reciprocal selection on pathogens and hosts,
leading to development of arms race evolutionary dynamics. Here we show that …
