Abstract Protein L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase (PIMT) regulates key seed traits and abiotic stress tolerance in plants by repairing isoaspartyl (isoAsp) damaged proteins. However, whether PIMT-mediated repair is induced and is required during biotic stress tolerance remains unknown. Using rice lines with OsPIMT overexpression, RNAi-mediated suppression, and genome editing, we show that PIMT enhances tolerance to sheath blight (ShB) caused by Rhizoctonia solani.

Oryza sativa ssp. indica (cv. PB1 and Tetep), O. sativa ssp. japonica (cv. TP309) and R. solani AG1-IA isolate BRS1 were used in this study. BRS1 sclerotia were cultured on PDA (39?g/L; Potato Dextrose Agar; Himedia, Mumbai, India) plates at 28?°C. The freshly prepared equal sized sclerotia were used for inoculation. Rice was grown in a PGV36 conviron plant growth chamber at 28?°C temperature, 80% relative humidity and 16/8?hr of day/night. 60 days old rice sheaths were infected with R.
