Research has shown that rice (Oryza sativa L.) is crucial for providing energy and nutrients for over half of the world's population. However, like other crop plants, rice is susceptible to various environmental stresses. To combat these stresses, plants accumulate secondary metabolites known as phytoalexins, including hydroxycinnamic acid
