Two-faced OsNAS3 influences disease resistance via nicotianamine and ethylene.
The loss and gain of OsNAS3 function both positively influence plant disease resistance. Overexpression of OsNAS3 boosts blast resistance by promoting nicotianamine accumulation, thereby enhancing blast resistance. Conversely, knockout of OsNAS3 increases ethylene biosynthesis, also contributing to improved blast resistance.
