Transcriptional Dynamics of Receptor-Based Genes Reveal Immunity Hubs in Rice Response to <i>Magnaporthe oryzae</i> Infection.

ABSTRACT: Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae (MOR) reigns as the top-most devastating disease affecting global rice production. Pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) is crucial for mitigating plant responses to pathogens. However, the transcriptional dynamics of PTI-related genes in rice response to MOR infection remain largely unexplored. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis of 201 RNA sequencing and 217 microarray datasets to investigate the transcriptional dynamics of rice under MOR infection at various infection stages. The transcriptional dynamics of extracellular/cytoplasmic receptor kinase genes (RLKs, RLCKs, WAKs) and downstream signaling intermediates, including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and Ca²⁺-related signaling genes, were ide
