Unraveling the
#molecular basis of non-host resistance is crucial to improve
#crop resilience.
In a new study, Mei et al. report that
#rice-specific
#microRNAs attack
#Sclerotinia via cross-kingdom RNAi.

#metabolism and confer
#Sclerotinia resistance in
#rapeseed--with potential implications for

Fungal resistance in plants associated with heritable differences in microbiota abundances
Sunflowers aren't just beautiful symbols of summer—they are also economically significant, ranking as the fourth most important oilseed crop in the world, and new research suggests that some bacteria might help protect the crop from white-mold destruction.
In a new paper for
#JIPB, He et al. explore the potential for rapid alkalinization factor RALF22 to act as an
#immune elicitor in
#crop protection.
