China news agency, Shanghai, October 1 (Reporter Zheng Yingying) - China Ke Xueyuan Innovation Center of Molecular Plant Science Excellence Hezu Hua rice research team for the study, after 15 years of continuous tracking, reveals a new pathway to suppress plant immunity
.

The research provides new ideas for the design of new disease-resistant genes and the development of high-yield disease-resistant crop varieties, which will help reduce the use of pesticides and promote "green breeding"

Rice is an important food crop in China, but rice pests and diseases pose a threat to agricultural production and food security
.

Rice varieties with high disease resistance are often restricted in their growth and development.

China Ke Xueyuan relations Innovation Center of Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences researcher, said He Zuhua, crop diseases frequently occur, and the use of pesticides and great harm in the long run, we want to balance the "high-yield" and "resistance" between, "green More efforts should be made in "breeding"
.

Their research shows for the first time that crops can choose immune strategies that are compatible with climate or cultivation conditions, so that plant disease resistance and growth and development can be balanced, providing enlightenment for research in the field of plant immunity

Specifically, the study revealed the "working process" of ROD1, a new receptor for calcium ion in rice
.

It can inhibit the defense response of plants.

There is another side to the "tact defense" of rice
.

According to scientific researchers, pathogens and plants have long been in the process of co-evolution of the "arms race".
