Abstract excerpt
Lesion mimic mutants are valuable for studying plant cell death and defence mechanisms. Here, we identify a rice lesion mimic mutant, osasa2-1, which exhibits spontaneous cell death and enhanced disease resistance. The mutant displays white spots on leaves that develop into large brown lesions. Histological analysis reveals increased cell death and H2O2 accumulation. Map-based cloning identified the causal gene...
