Abstract excerpt
Rice root-knot nematode (RRKN, Meloidogyne graminicola) is a destructive nematodes threatening global rice production. Few RRKN-resistant resources have been reported and their natural variations remain largely unknown. Here, we identify RRKN susceptibility factor 1 (Rsf1), encoding a cysteine-rich protein, via Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS), multi-omics analysis, and functional validation. A natural...
