Multiple Translocation of the AVR-Pita Effector Gene among Chromosomes of the Rice Blast Fungus Magnaporthe oryzae and Related Species
Magnaporthe oryzae is the causal agent of rice blast disease, a devastating problem worldwide. This fungus has caused breakdown of resistance conferred by newly developed commercial cultivars. To address how the rice blast fungus adapts itself to new resistance genes so quickly, we examined chromosomal locations of AVR-Pita, a subtelomeric gene family corresponding to the Pita resistance gene, ...
متن کاملRice blast fungus sequenced
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a major staple food crop for half of the world’s population. The International Rice Research Institute, Philippines, estimates that in order to feed the growing global population, rice production must increase by another one-third by the year 2020. Magnaporthe grisea (anamorph, Pyricularia oryzae) causes rice blast disease (Figure 1) and is the most destructive pathoge...
متن کاملRoles of Peroxisomes in the Rice Blast Fungus
The rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, is a model plant pathogenic fungus and is a severe threat to global rice production. Over the past two decades, it has been found that the peroxisomes play indispensable roles during M. oryzae infection. Given the importance of the peroxisomes for virulence, we review recent advances of the peroxisomes roles during M. oryzae infection processes. We fir...
متن کاملInheritance of dsRNAs in the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea.
The 1.6 and 1.8 kbp dsRNAs have been found in the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea strain MG01. These dsRNA molecules are located in cytoplasm of the fungal cells and maintained stably during vegetative growth. Three crosses between dsRNA free and dsRNA containing strains including a parental cross, sib-mating and back cross were made to follow the inheritance of dsRNAs during sexual repro...
متن کاملEpigenetic Control of Effector Gene Expression in the Plant Pathogenic Fungus Leptosphaeria maculans
Plant pathogens secrete an arsenal of small secreted proteins (SSPs) acting as effectors that modulate host immunity to facilitate infection. SSP-encoding genes are often located in particular genomic environments and show waves of concerted expression at diverse stages of plant infection. To date, little is known about the regulation of their expression. The genome of the Ascomycete Leptosphae...
