🌾#Rice...

✅ Crucial #food source
✅ Monocot model #plant
☠️ Vulnerable to #viral pathogens

🎉But there's hope!

📢Li et al. report ARGONAUTE 2 plays essential roles in a broad-spectrum #antiviral defense.

Pathogen resistance with no #yield loss? Sounds like a win-win to me!

Let's see what Wang et al. have to say about the role of effector UvScd1-secreting Bacillus subtilis as a biocontrol agent for #crop #disease management.
