Sheath blight, caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani, is a major problem that significantly impacts rice production and can lead to substantial yield losses. The disease has become increasingly problematic in recent years due to the widespread use of high-yielding semi-dwarf rice cultivars, dense planting, and heavy application of nitrogenous fertilizers. The disease has become more challenging to manage due to its diverse host range and the lack of resistant cultivars. Despite utilizing traditional methods, the problem persists without a satisfactory solution. Therefore, modern approaches, including advanced breeding, transgenic methods, genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and nanotechnological interventions, are being explored to develop rice plants resistant to sheath blight disease. This review primarily focuses on these recent advancements in combating the sheath blight disease.
鞘腐病，由真菌立枯丝核菌引起，是一个严重的问题，极大地影响了水稻的生产，并可能导致大量的产量损失。近年来，由于高产半矮秆水稻品种的广泛应用、密植和大量施用氮肥，该病变得越来越成问题。由于其宿主范围广泛和缺乏抗性品种，该病的管理变得更加具有挑战性。尽管利用了传统方法，但问题仍然存在，没有令人满意的解决方案。因此，正在探索现代方法，包括先进的育种、转基因方法、利用 CRISPR/Cas9 技术的基因组编辑和纳米技术干预，以开发对鞘腐病具有抗性的水稻植株。本综述主要关注这些防治鞘腐病的最新进展。
