Silencing of the Rice Gene LRR1 Compromises Rice Xa21 Transcript Accumulation and XA21-Mediated Immunity
Abstract Background The rice immune receptor XA21 confers resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae (Xoo), bioglan deep sleep the causal agent of bacterial leaf blight.We previously demonstrated that an auxilin-like protein, XA21 BINDING PROTEIN 21 (XB21), positively regulates resistance to Xoo.Results To further investigate the function of XB21,
