  abstract = {{B}ackground {I}dentifying new sources of disease resistance and the corresponding underlying resistance mechanisms remains very challenging, particularly in {M}onocots. {M}oreover, the modification of most disease resistance pathways made so far is detrimental to tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought. {T}his is largely due to negative cross-talks between disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance signaling pathways. {W}e have previously described the role of the rice {ZBED} protein containing three {Z}n-finger {BED} domains in disease resistance against the fungal pathogen{M}agnaporthe oryzae. {T}he molecular and biological functions of such {BED} domains in plant proteins remain elusive. {R}esults {U}sing{N}icotiana benthamianaas a heterologous system, we show that {ZBED} localizes in the nucleus, binds {DNA}, and triggers basal immunity. {T}hese activities require conserved cysteine residues of the {Z}n-finger {BED} domains that are involved in {DNA} binding. {I}nterestingly, {ZBED} overexpressor rice lines show increased drought tolerance. {M}ore importantly, the disease resistance response conferred by {ZBED} is not compromised by drought-induced stress. {C}onclusions {T}ogether our data indicate that {ZBED} might represent a new type of transcriptional regulator playing simultaneously a positive role in both disease resistance and drought tolerance. {W}e demonstrate that it is possible to provide disease resistance and drought resistance simultaneously.},
