近期,生物学家发现了水稻植株是如何由病害而触发其免疫系统的,这一发现可提高作物产量,继而产生出更多的抗性水稻品种。研究人员通过对稻白叶枯病的研究发现,水稻可识别一种由细菌分泌的名为Rax X的分子。澳大利亚国立大学的Benjamin Schwessinger博士说,“我们认为,这种分子在水稻免疫反应中起着重要的作用。”这项研究可能有助于其他作物抵抗类似的病害,甚至有可能对人类健康提供新的视角。 Recently, biologists have discovered how rice plants trigger their immune system by disease, a finding that increases crop yields and, in turn, produces more resistant rice varieties. Researchers through the study on rice bacterial blight found that rice can identify a bacteria secreted by the name of Rax X molecules. Dr. Benjamin Schwessinger of the Australian National University said, “We think this molecule plays an important role in the immune response in rice.” "This research may help other crops resist similar diseases and may even have implications for human health Provide a new perspective.
