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.
