Azelaic Acid-Mediated Resistance in Rice Against Infection by <i>Bipolaris oryzae</i>.

Plants (Basel, Switzerland) · 2026

Brown spot, caused by the fungus <i>Bipolaris oryzae</i>, has led to significant yield losses in rice production worldwide. This study hypothesized that azelaic acid (AzA) could reduce brown spot symptoms in rice leaves by potentiating biochemical defense reactions. A 2 × 2 factorial experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with five replications per sampling time. The factors… Read on PubMed →
