Suppression of the Rice Fatty-Acid Desaturase Gene OsSSI2 Enhances Resistance to Blast and Leaf Blight Diseases in Rice

Fatty acids and their derivatives play important signaling roles in plant defense responses. It has been shown that suppressing a gene for stearoyl acyl carrier protein fatty-acid desaturase (SACPD) enhances the resistance of Arabidopsis (SSI2) and soybean to multiple pathogens. In this study, we pr...
