SUMMARY Hexokinases (HXKs), which sense and catalyze cellular sugar, play a critical role in the growth development of various plants, including wheat, primary source human calories frequently attacked by fungal pathogens. However, evolutionary dynamics functional diversification HXKs particularly their roles plant defense, remain unclear. Here, we discovered that wheat hexokinase gene family originated through multiple ancient duplications across different lineages has undergone comprehensive, multidimensional specialization expression, subcellular localization, enzyme activity, regulation defense responses. Gene expression analysis suggests two‐thirds TaHXK genes are responsive to infection. Subcellular reveals while six TaHXKs localized mitochondria, three from phylogenetic branches sorted into other compartments. Notably, biochemical shows mitochondria differ glucose‐catalyzing with TaHXK5 TaHXK3 exhibiting highest lowest respectively. Consistently, transient induces responses, is defective activating some Furthermore, inactivation glucokinase activity compromised its function activation, suggesting mitochondrial display divergence both defense‐inducing intrinsically connected. Overall, our findings reveal events following duplication may have shaped diversity shedding light on potentially contributing improvement defense.

acterial leaf streak (BLS) is a bacterial disease that severely affects rice leaves, leading to significant yield reductions. microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs extensively involved in the growth, development, and stress responses of plants animals. However, miRNAs regulate response still relatively scarce. The indica variety Dular exhibits resistance BLS, whereas 9311 highly susceptible disease. By conducting miRNA sequencing transcriptome on both before after BLS inoculation, we identified 19 were significantly downregulated at 12 24 h post-inoculation Dular, 9 upregulated same time points 9311. Additionally, through degradome sequencing, 23 miRNA- mRNA regulatory modules likely play crucial roles 4 may be important susceptibility Current studies primarily focus those blast blight, with miRNA-target mechanisms for remaining unclear. This study has miRNA-mRNA contributing understanding network defense against infection.

Plant bacterial diseases have precipitated a global crisis in human health and food security. In agriculture, such as the rice white-leaf blight can cause considerable reduction crop yields and, extreme cases, complete failure. Therefore, there is an urgent need for novel green pesticides with innovative modes-of-action (MoAs). A series of zingerone derivatives isopropanolamine skeleton were designed their quorum-sensing effects estimated using biomimetic strategies. The results showed that compound A12 effectively inhibits growth Xanthomonas oryzae pv. [Xoo, median effective concentration (EC50) = 3.55 μg mL-1], axonopodis citri (Xac, EC50 3.23 mL-1) oryzicola (Xoc, 7.48 mL-1). Molecular docking revealed forms multiple interactions RpfF protein, while fluorescence titration experiments further verified interaction between them. Additionally, was found to inhibit Xoo biofilm formation, extracellular polysaccharide production other virulence factors. vivo pot exhibited excellent curative (53.59%) protective (57.65%) activity against Xoo. conclusion, A12's primary MoA achieved by affecting formation biofilms expression various factors, including related genes. summary, this study highlights displays notable sensing activity. advancement inhibitors through strategies offers promising avenues future research. © 2025 Society Chemical Industry.

Plant disease poses a great threat to crop production. The mechanisms underlying plant-pathogen interactions are critical research topics worldwide. In recent years, significant breakthrough studies have been reported, broadening our understanding of plant immunity. Based on these findings, many strategies developed improve defense against various diseases. Here, we summarize and their applications in aimed at promoting resistance. Besides domain swapping, gene shuffling, random mutation, three additional the last decade. first strategy is editing host susceptibility (S) genes prevent pathogen infection. Editing Mlo DMR6 species good examples this approach. second promoters S or resistance (R) genes. This widely used counteract Xanthomonas, such as modifying LOB1 SWEET several crops enhance third designing R products, especially nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors. approach based growing knowledge structural features NLRs, which seen advances recently. To date, all NLR-engineering attempts focused rice paired Pikp-1/Pikp-2 (allelic Pikm-1/Pikm-2) RGA4/RGA5. bioengineering NLRs provides promising method combat diverse pathogens. Detailed also discussed review, organized around strategies. summary, with progresses immune mechanism, innovative molecular available mitigate pathogens future.

Rice–Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) is one of the commonly used rice models host–pathogen interactions. Xoc causes bacterial leaf streak (BLS) and has quarantine status. As a Gram-negative pathogen, usually employs type III secretion effectors (T3SEs), including transcription activator-like (TALEs) non-TALEs, to interfere with innate immunity rice. However, few major resistance genes corresponding are found in cultivations; only Rxo1-AvrRxo1 Xo1-TALEs interactions have been discovered rice–Xoc. In this review, we focus on role T3S system (T3SS) virulence consider reported AvrRxo1, AvrBs2, XopN, XopC2, XopAP, XopAK, as well TALEs Tal2g/Tal5d, Tal2h, Tal2a, Tal7, Tal10a, TalI, Tal2b, Tal2c. Interestingly, XopAP disturb stomatal opening promote infection through targeting diverse signaling pathways Otherwise, Tal2b Tal2c, respectively, activate two salicylic acid (SA) hydroxylation redundantly suppress SA-mediated basal defense, which unknown targets, suppresses SA pathway addition, other factors discussed. conclusion, several T3SEs from similar defense achieve invasion, providing an outlook for control disease manipulating conserved pathways.
