Loss of a Premature Stop Codon in the Rice Wall-Associated Kinase 91 (WAK91) Gene Is a Candidate for Improving Leaf Sheath Blight Disease Resistance.

Abstract excerpt

Leaf sheath blight disease (SB) of rice caused by the soil-borne fungus Rhizoctonia solani results in 10-30% global yield loss annually and can reach 50% under severe outbreaks. Many disease resistance genes and receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are recruited early on by the host plant to respond to pathogens. Wall-associated receptor kinases (WAKs), a subfamily of receptor-like kinases, have been shown to play a role...
