ABSTRACT
KEY MESSAGE OsICS1 but not OsICS1-L mediates the rice response to Xoo inoculation, with its overexpression increasing resistance against this pathogen. OsICS1 but not OsICS-L is directly upregulated by OsWRKY6. Rice (Oryza sativa) is a staple crop for about half of the global population and is particularly important in the diets of people living in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. This crop is continually threatened by bacterial leaf blight disease caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), which drastically reduces yields; therefore, it is needed to elucidate the plant's resistance mechanisms against Xoo. Isochorismate synthase (ICS1) generates salicylic acid (SA) and increases resistance against bacterial disease. The OsICS1 is differently annotated in rice genome databases and has not yet been functionally characterized in the context of Xoo infection. Here, we report that the expression of the OsICS1 is directly regulated by OsWRKY6 and increases plant resistance against Xoo. Inoculation with Xoo increased the expression of OsICS1 but not that of the long variant of OsICS1 (OsICS1-L). OsWRKY6 directly activated the OsICS1 promoter but not the OsICS1-L promoter. OsICS1 overexpression in rice increased resistance against Xoo through the induction of SA-dependent bacterial defense genes. These data show that OsICS1 promotes resistance against Xoo infection.
