Iron treatment induces resistance against the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae through potentiation of immune responses

To investigate the role of iron excess in rice immune responses to Magnaporthe oryzae infection. Gene expression profiling analysis were performed using data obtained from RNA-seq of rice plants grown in differential iron supply and challenged with Magnaporthe oryzae spores. Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data of rice plants treated either with an control Fe or high Fe nutrient solution and infected or not with Magnaporthe oryza
