Silencing a Simple Extracellular Leucine-Rich Repeat Gene <i>OsI-BAK1</i> Enhances the Resistance of Rice to Brown Planthopper <i>Nilaparvata lugens</i>

Many plant proteins with extracellular leucine-rich repeat (eLRR) domains play an important role in plant immunity. However, the role of one class of eLRR plant proteins—the simple eLRR proteins—in plant defenses against herbivores remains largely unknown. Here, we found that a simple eLRR protein O...
