A salivary protein NlSP2 engages the OsCBSX3-SNAC3 module to enhance rice immunity.
The molecular dialogue between rice and the brown planthopper (BPH; Nilaparvata lugens) is mediated by insect salivary effectors, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying plant perception and immune activation remain largely unclear. Here, we characterized the BPH salivary protein NlSP2, which is secreted into rice tiss...
