Biotic stresses represent a serious threat to rice production to meet global food demand and
thus pose a major challenge for scientists, who need to understand the intricate defense …

Rice blast disease, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the major constraints to rice
production, which feeds half of the world's population. Proteomic technologies have been …

IPF is a progressive fibrotic lung disease whose pathogenesis remains incompletely
understood. We have previously discovered pathologic mesenchymal progenitor cells …

Ascorbate peroxidases (APXs) maintain cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS)
