摘要

Jasmonic acid (JA) signaling plays a crucial role in rice defense against the striped stem borer, Chilo suppressalis, a notorious pest causing significant yield losses. This review explores the current understanding of JA-mediated defense mechanisms in rice, focusing on the molecular basis, regulatory elements, and practical implications for pest management. JA biosynthesis and signaling pathways are induced upon C. suppressalis infestation, leading to the activation of various defense responses. These include upregulation of JA-responsive genes involved in the production of proteinase inhibitors, volatile organic compounds, and other defensive compounds. The review also discusses the crosstalk between JA and other hormonal pathways, such as salicylic acid and ethylene, in fine-tuning defense responses. Structural modifications in rice plants, such as cell wall reinforcement and accumulation of secondary metabolites, have been highlighted as key components of JA-mediated defense against C. suppressalis. Furthermore, the practical applications of this knowledge in breeding insect-resistant rice varieties and developing sustainable pest management strategies were explored. Future research directions are proposed to further elucidate the complexities of JA signaling in rice-insect interactions and harness this knowledge to enhance crop protection.
