A pair of chitosan receptors confer broad-spectrum fungal resistance.

Chitosan, a major fungal cell wall component, activates plant immunity, yet the underlying perception mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we identified OsFID1, an apoplast-localized DUF26 domain protein, as a chitosan-binding receptor essential for chitosan-triggered immunity. OsFID1 forms a receptor complex with...

Targeting a cryptic Magnaporthe oryzae-specific pocket in succinate dehydrogenase to combat rice blast.

The global efficacy of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs), a leading class of fungicides, is increasingly threatened by resistance, driven largely by their shared binding mode at the conserved ubiquinone-binding (Q) site. This challenge is particularly acute for rice blast, as no SDHI is registered for this dis...
