Rhizoctonia solani Kühn infects most plant families and can cause significant agricultural yield losses worldwide; however, plant resistance to this disease is rare and short-lived, and therefore poorly understood, resulting in the use of chemical pesticides for its control. Understanding the functional responses of this pathogen during host infection can help elucidate the molecular mechanisms...

Rice sheath blight (ShB) is one of the most serious fungal diseases caused by Rhizoctonia solani, instigating significant yield losses in many rice-growing regions world. Intensive studies indicated that resistance for controlled possibly polygenes. Because complex inheritance, it’s very difficult to exploit and tap all genomic conferring using classical approaches QTL mapping, important have a...
