Position in the putative disease resistance signaling pathway of the rice genes that were used in plants to improve disease resistance. The genes listed here are the ones for which the demonstration of usefulness was made in planta. Details on these genes are provided in Table 1.The position of the OsDR8, OsDR10, pi21, spl18, and OsSBP genes is not shown. This schematic view illustrates the three steps leading to pathogen resistance: recognition via general (e.g., OsWAK1) and specific receptors (Pi and Xa genes), signal transduction, transcription, and defense response, involving pathogenesis-related genes and cell death. The OsPLDβ, OsFAD7/FAD8, and OsAOS2 genes are involved in the jasmonic acid pathway and OsSSI2 in the salicylic acid pathway. The OsLOL2, OsLSD1, OsSpl11, and OsSpl7genes are negative regulators of cell death, and mutants for these genes display spontaneous lesions resembling disease.
