Key Findings
- The study by Sichuan Agricultural University focused on understanding lesion spot formation and disease resistance in wheat
- Researchers identified key genes that, when mutated, lead to lesion spots and increased pathogen resistance
- The study found that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in forming lesion spots and activating defense mechanisms

Main Study
1) Integration of transcriptomics, metabolomics, and hormone analysis revealed the formation of lesion spots inhibited by GA and CTK was related to cell death and disease resistance in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
