Abstract Climate change threatens global food security by imposing concurrent abiotic and biotic stresses on major crops such as rice. Genetic resources conferring dual resistance to drought and blast disease are rare, limiting the development of climate-resilient crops. Here, using a genome-wide association study, we identify NLR8-Hap2, a natural allele of the rice resistance gene NLR8 that enhances resistance to drought and blast disease.

Abstarct Industrial activities have driven stratospheric ozone depletion, increasing surface UV-B radiation while exacerbating global warming. These changes limit crop productivity, alter species distributions, and disrupt plant metabolic processes, but the mechanisms linking energy signaling to heat-stress responses remain unclear.
