Rs_MEP1 Is Required for the Pathogenesis of Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA in Plants.
This study emphasizes that Rs_MEP1 facilitates R. solani in promoting necrotic responses and targets rice GH19 chitinases to impart disease susceptibility in plants and provides evidence that Rs_MEP1 interacts with GH19 family of rice chitinases and potentially modulates their functions.
