A pathogen lncRNA secreted into rice sequesters a host miRNA for virulence

Nature, Published online: 20 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10572-x

A fungal long non-coding RNA from Magnaporthe oryzae translocates into rice cells to sequester a host microRNA that normally represses PKR1, a negative immunity regulator, thereby facilitating infection and revealing a widespread RNA-based pathogen–host interaction mechanism.

Inactivating <i>SnRK1β1A</i> promotes broad-spectrum disease resistance in rice

Nature, Published online: 25 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10273-5

SnRK1β1A in rice promotes susceptibility to multiple fungal diseases, and disrupting this infection-inducible gene confers broad-spectrum resistance without compromising growth or yield under normal field conditions.
