A comprehensive insight into the biology of Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA Kuhn, the causal organism of the sheath blight disease of rice

Sambit Datta et al.

Summary: Sheath Blight (ShB) disease of rice, caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA, can lead to significant yield and grain quality losses up to 50%. The pathogen creates early symptoms on rice plants as water-soaked spots on leaf sheaths. This review comprehensively discusses the morphology of the pathogen, disease spread and epidemiology, control measures, the genetics of the pathogen, and current research trends in sheath blight.

Plasmodesmata and their role in assimilate translocation

Manuel Miras et al.

Summary: This article reviews the current knowledge about plasmodesmata (PD), unique cell-cell connections in plants, and discusses the protein composition, structure, transport mechanism, and regulation of PD. It emphasizes the importance of PD in photoassimilate transport and carbohydrate allocation, and highlights the need for new approaches and technologies to advance the understanding of PD biology.

Ca2+ sensor-mediated ROS scavenging suppresses rice immunity and is exploited by a fungal effector

Mingjun Gao et al.

Summary: The discovery of a conserved immune suppression network in cereals centered on the Ca2+-sensor ROD1 is significant in understanding how plants fine-tune immune homeostasis. ROD1 promotes reactive oxygen species scavenging and its disruption confers resistance to multiple pathogens. The fungal effector AvrPiz-t structurally mimics ROD1 to suppress host immunity and promote virulence, revealing a molecular framework for breeding disease-resistant, high-yield crops.

Regulation and Function of Defense-Related Callose Deposition in Plants

Ying Wang et al.

Summary: Plants have developed a variety of defense mechanisms to protect themselves from pathogens, with callose playing a crucial role. This beta-(1,3)-D-glucan is deposited at pathogen attack sites to slow their spread, and research over the years has increased our understanding of its regulation and function in plant defense.

Functional validation of pathogenicity genes in rice sheath blight pathogen Rhizoctonia solani by a novel host-induced gene silencing system

Mei Zhao et al.

Summary: A newly established TRV-HIGS system was used to validate pathogenicity genes in the rice sheath blight pathogen R. solani, with 29 out of 33 candidate genes showing significant reduction in necrosis caused by GD-118 infection. Stable rice transformants harboring double-stranded RNA constructs for one positive gene, trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (Rstps2), exhibited reduced gene expression, virulence, and trehalose accumulation in GD-118, indicating the potential for controlling the disease through gene silencing techniques.
