Bacterial blight is caused by the pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). Genome scale integrative analysis on the interaction of high and low temperatures on the molecular response signature in rice during the Xoo infection has not been conducted yet. We have analysed a unique RNA-Seq dataset generated on the susceptible rice variety IR24 under combined exposure of Xoo with low 29/21 °C (day/night) and high 35/31 °C (day/night) temperatures. Differentially regulated key genes and pathways in rice plants during both the stress conditions were identified. Differential dynamics of the regulatory network topology showed that WRKY and ERF families of transcription factors play a crucial role during signal crosstalk events in rice plants while responding to combined exposure of Xoo with low temperature vs. Xoo with high temperatures. Our study suggests that upon onset of high temperature, rice plants tend to switch its focus from defence response towards growth and reproduction.

Epigenetic mechanisms are integral to plant growth, development, and adaptation to environmental stimuli. Over the past two decades, our comprehension of these complex regulatory processes has expanded remarkably, producing a substantial body of knowledge on both locus-specific mechanisms and genome-wide regulatory patterns. Studies initially grounded in the model plant Arabidopsis have been broadened to encompass a diverse array of crop species, revealing the multifaceted roles of epigenetics in physiological and agronomic traits.

Plant pathogens pose significant threats to global cereal crop production, particularly for essential crops like rice and wheat, which are fundamental to global food security and provide nearly 40% of the global caloric intake. As the global population continues to rise, increasing agricultural production to meet food demands becomes even more critical. However, the production of these vital crops is constantly threatened by phytopathological diseases, especially those caused by fungal pathogens such as , the causative agent of rice blast disease, , responsible for head blight (FHB) in wheat, and , the source of Septoria tritici blotch (STB).

Salinization poses a significant challenge in agriculture. Identifying salt-tolerant plant germplasm resources and understanding their mechanisms of salt tolerance are crucial for breeding new salt-tolerant plant varieties. However, one of the primary obstacles to achieving this goal in crops is the physiological complexity of the salt-tolerance trait.

Rice transcription factor bHLH25 confers resistance to multiple diseases by sensing HO.

State Key Laboratory of Crop Gene Exploration and Utilization in Southwest China, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is a ubiquitous signal regulating many biological processes, including innate immunity, in all eukaryotes. However, it remains largely unknown that how transcription factors directly sense HO in eukaryotes. Here, we report that rice basic/helix-loop-helix transcription factor bHLH25 directly senses HO to confer resistance to multiple diseases caused by fungi or bacteria.
