Article Synopsis
- - Sheath blight disease in rice, caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA, leads to significant losses in yield and quality, making the discovery of resistance genes crucial for effective management.
- - A study utilizing RNA sequencing on six diverse rice genotypes identified 352 differentially expressed genes related to sheath blight resistance, with a focus on one gene, Oschib1, linked to resistance variations.
- - The Oschib1 gene, which encodes a classIII chitinase, was cloned from a resistant rice type and over-expressed in a susceptible variety, resulting in increased resistance to the fungus, demonstrating a dose-dependent effect on the plant's defense response.

AG1-1A is a necrotrophic fungus that causes sheath blight disease in rice. The reliable resistant source against this phytopathogenic fungus is not available in the gene pool of rice. Better understanding of pathogen genomics and gene regulatory networks are critical to devise alternate strategies for developing resistance against this noxious pathogen.
