In terrestrial ecosystems, plant leaves provide the largest biological habitat for highly diverse microbial communities, known as phyllosphere microbiota. However, underlying mechanisms of host-driven assembly these ubiquitous communities remain largely elusive. Here, we conduct a large-scale and in-depth assessment rice microbiome aimed at identifying specific host-microbe links. A genome-wide association study reveals strong between genotype members four bacterial orders, Pseudomonadales,...

The Cucurbitaceae includes important crops such as cucumber, melon, watermelon, squash and pumpkin. However, few genetic genomic resources are available for plant improvement. Some cucurbit species cucumber have a narrow base, which impedes construction of saturated molecular linkage maps. We report herein the development highly polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers originated from whole genome shotgun sequencing subsequent high-density map. This map 995 SSRs in seven groups spans...

Plants typically activate distinct defense pathways against various pathogens. Heightened resistance to one pathogen often coincides with increased susceptibility another pathogen. However, the underlying molecular basis of this antagonistic response remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that mutants defective in transcription factor ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE 3-LIKE 2 (OsEIL2) exhibited enhanced biotrophic bacterial Xanthomonas oryzae pv and hemibiotrophic fungal Magnaporthe oryzae, but...

Ubiquitination is essential for many cellular processes in eukaryotes, including 26S proteasome-dependent protein degradation, cell cycle progression, transcriptional regulation, and signal transduction. Although numerous ubiquitinated proteins have been empirically identified, their cognate ubiquitin E3 ligases remain largely unknown.

Wheat blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum (MoT) pathotype, is a devastating disease persistent in South America and Bangladesh. Since MoT generally fails to cause visual symptoms wheat until heading stage when infection would have advanced, control fungicide application solely based on detection of ineffective. To develop an accurate sensitive method detect at seedling vegetative stages for control, we sequenced genomes two isolates from Brazil identified DNA fragments,...
