Article Synopsis
- The jasmonic acid (JA) pathway, crucial for plant development and defense, is activated by 13-lipoxygenases (LOXs), with rice having at least fourteen types but only two previously linked to JA production.
- A newly identified LOX gene, OsRCI-1, was shown to significantly respond to brown planthopper (BPH) infestation, enhancing the plant's defense mechanisms and pest attraction.
- Overexpressing OsRCI-1 led to increased levels of defense compounds, reduced BPH infestations, and increased attractiveness to BPH natural enemies, but showed trade-offs with plant growth compared to wild-type rice.
