Rice blast disease, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae , is a significant threat to rice production. Resistant cultivars can effectively resist the invasion of M. oryzae . Thus, the identification of disease-resistant genes is of utmost importance for improving rice production. Autophagy, a cellular process that recycles damaged components, plays a vital role in plant growth, development, senescence, stress response, and immunity. To understand the involvement of autophagy-related genes (ATGs) in rice immune response against M...
