The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Samba Mahsuri rice and shows how structural polymorphisms shape locus-specific population structure within indica rice.

The paper identifies a novel OsMAPK6 allele in rice linked to disease resistance and constitutive immunity against bacterial blight.

This study identifies a major QTL for early heading in rice and links it to candidate genes and SNP markers that can improve climate resilience and yield.

This study identifies TAL9b as a Xoo effector targeting OsS5H/FNS-03g, a bifunctional protein whose product apigenin promotes bacterial blight in rice.

This paper describes the discovery and characterization of a novel probiotic bacterium, Luteibacter sahnii, isolated from rice seeds, highlighting its probiotic properties and potential role in plant health.

This study identifies genomic and molecular mechanisms of rice tolerance to yellow stem borer using multi-omics approaches and develops markers for marker-assisted breeding.

The paper isolates and characterizes a new non-pathogenic Xanthomonas species, X. protegens, from rice seeds and highlights its probiotic properties and taxonomic distinctiveness.

This study investigates the genomic diversity and bio-protection function of Xanthomonas indica, a non-pathogenic rice-associated species, revealing its evolutionary insights and potential role in plant defense.

The paper shows that XopX interacts with 14-3-3 proteins to suppress rice immunity, but when combined with XopQ, it induces immune responses, with other effectors able to suppress this effect.
