Increase disease resistance without compromising plant growth and development. During the heading stage, there was no difference in plant height or number of panicles between the control plants (on the left) and the rice plants in which the OsRING80 ubiquitin E3 ligase gene was mutated (the three plants on the right). Notably, during the seedling and tillering stages, the osring80 mutant plants exhibited resistance to the rice blast fungus, suggesting that OsRING80 is a great target for engineering disease resistance without growth penalty in rice.
