A non-canonical DWARF3-OsCOX11-mediated mitochondrial ROS homeostasis pathway acts in parallel with core strigolactone signaling to promote rice blast resistance.
Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of plant hormones with multifaceted roles in rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth and development. The F-box protein DWARF3 (D3) is a core component of the SL signalling pathway, coupling SL perception to the downstream responses. However, whether D3 also contributes to rice immunity and how i...
