Rice Transcription Factor BHLH25 Confers Resistance to Multiple Diseases by Sensing H2O2

Academic Background When plants face pathogen invasion, they activate a series of complex defense mechanisms. Among these, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in plant immune responses. Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), as a major component of ROS, is considered a key signaling molecule in plant immunity. However, how H₂O₂ is sensed within pl...
