Abstract

The rice E3 ubiquitin ligases OsCIE1 and IPI7 mediate the non-proteolytic polyubiquitination of the pattern-recognition receptor kinase OsCERK1 and the transcription factor IPA1, respectively, in response to Magnaporthe oryzae infection, thereby fine-tuning rice growth-immunity trade-offs.
