However, plant susceptibility genes have not yet been exploited for crop protection. Here we identified a leucine-rich repeat protein, OsLRR2, from susceptible rice varieties that facilitates infestation by brown planthopper N. lugens. Field trials showed that knockout of OsLRR2 significantly reduced BPH infestation and enhanced natural biological control by attracting natural enemies. Yield of a susceptible variety was increased by 18% in insecticide-treated plots that eliminated planthoppers and by 25% in untreated plots. These findings underscore the pivotal role of OsLRR2, offering a promising pathway for pest population suppression and rice yield increase.
