Suppression of ZmJAZ12 Expression Modulates Jasmonic Acid and Salicylic Acid Signalling and Enhances Maize Resistance to Southern Corn Rust

Southern corn rust (SCR), caused by the biotrophic fungus Puccinia polysora, severely threatens maize yield worldwide. In this study, we identified ZmJAZ12, a member of the JASMONATE ZIM‐domain (JAZ) protein family, as a negative regulator of SCR resistance in maize. Genome‐wide association study (GWAS) and expression...

A domestication-selected CIPK-MYB-HAK module improves salt tolerance in modern maize.

It is shown that modern maize exhibits markedly greater salt tolerance than its wild progenitor, teosinte, and a domestication-selected CIPK20-MYB28-HAK4 module is uncovered that provides mechanistic insights into the evolutionary trajectory of salt tolerance, and identifies valuable targets for developing salt-resilie...
