Rice breeding against sheath blight is now feasible: a breakthrough discovery of SBRR1-mediated sheath blight resistance from natural rice germplasm - Stress Biology Sheath blight (ShB), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Rhizoctonia solani, is a globally destructive rice disease responsible for significant yield losses. However, the absence of characterized genes ...
