Finding the source of pathogen infectivity in rice to reveal the mechanism of induction of immunity:A new insight into the development of disease-resistant plants -- Kindai University
Discovered a transcription factor called “OsERF101” that plays an important role in rice immunity Elucidated the mechanism by which rice pathogen recognition receptor activates immunity by recognizing the most important virulence factors of the pathogens. Expected that this research will contribute to a new development of disease-resistant plants.
