Plant disease management is key to sustainable production of staple food crops. Calcium (Ca2+) signal and phytohormones play critical roles in regulating plant defense responses against pathogens. The Ca2+ signals are sensed, decoded transduced by calmodulin other -binding proteins, followed interaction with modulation activities target proteins such as calmodulin-binding (CBPs). Members the Ar...

A fundamental problem in fungal pathogenesis is to elucidate the evolutionary forces responsible for genomic rearrangements leading to races with fitter genotypes. Understanding the adaptive evolutionary mechanisms requires identification of genomic components and environmental factors reshaping the genome of fungal pathogens to adapt. Herein, Magnaporthe oryzae, a model fungal plant pathogen i...

Magnaporthe oryzae is a hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen that causes rice blast disease. A compatible interaction requires overcoming plant defense responses to initiate colonization during the early infection process. Nitric oxide (NO) plays important roles in defense responses during host-pathogen interactions. Microbes generally protect themselves against NO-induced damage by using enzymes. He...

Abstract Applying the difference-in-difference (DID) estimation procedure, this study quantifies wheat blast ( Magnaporthe oryzae pathotype Triticum) induced losses in yield, quantity of sold, consumed, or stored, as well grain value Bangladesh 2016 following a disease outbreak that affected over 15,000 ha. Estimates show blast-induced yield loss was 540 kg ha −1 on average for households blast...

Objective: The aims of the present study were to screen actinobacteria with high potential ability produce secondary metabolites that have inhibitory activity against plant pathogenic fungi, Magnaporthe oryzae. Production was analysis by thin-layer chromatography and bioautography assay.
 Methods: Screening selection Streptomyces sp. morphological, cultural, physiological, biochemical char...
