A JA-OsMYB72-OsTAM1 module promotes (R)-β-tyrosine-mediated lignin defense against brown planthopper in rice.
It is demonstrated that (R)-β-tyrosine functions as a key defense metabolite that enhances rice resistance to BPH, establishing a link between NPAA metabolism and lignin-associated structural defense.
