Abstract

The mechanisms underlying virus perception and immune activation in plants remain poorly understood. Recent work shows that in rice, an E3 ubiquitin ligase senses viral coat proteins to activate the jasmonate signalling pathway by degrading NINJA3, and triggers downstream antiviral defence responses.
