BACKGROUND In our previous studies, we discovered a series of chalcone-based phytopathogenic fungus inhibitors. However, knowledge of their effects, detailed targets and molecular mechanisms in Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae) remained limited. METHODS To explore the expression and function of differentially expressed genes in M. oryzae after treatment with compound C1, we analyzed the expressi...

Wheat blast (Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum) in Bangladesh and South America is recognized as one major limiting factor of wheat production. Its control using chemical pesticides raises concerns about food safety pesticide resistance, which have dictated the need for alternative management approach, nutrient supplementation could be an ecofriendly alternative. Experiments were carried out under co...

Screening for microorganisms with antagonistic activity against crop pathogens is essential microbial antagonist preparation, disease control, and sustainable agricultural development. This study established a rapid, efficient, one-step high-throughput method screening endophytic bacteria displaying Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae) ACCC36020 in rice seeds. The experimental results indicated that ...

This article is available online at http://www.jlr.org array of biological mediators, e.g., eicosanoids and leukotrienes in man and to oxylipins and jasmonates in plants and fungi ( 1–4 ). All LOXs belong to the same gene family and usually contain nonheme iron ( 2, 5 ). LOXs have been implicated in physiological and pathophysiological events, ranging from asthma, cancer, and infl ammation in h...

A purified preparation of antifungal protein (AFP) from Aspergillus giganteus exhibited potent antifungal activity against the phytopathogenic fungi Magnaporthe grisea and Fusarium moniliforme, as well as the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Under conditions of total inhibition of fungal growth, no toxicity of AFP toward rice protoplasts was observed. Additionally, application of AFP o...
