Blast caused by fungalMagnaporthe oryzaeis a devastating disease of rice (Oryza sativa) worldwide, and this fungus also infects barley (Hordeum vulgare). At least 11 rice WRKY transcription factors have been reported to regulate rice response toM. oryzaeeither positively or negatively. However, the...
