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...

Species of Pyricularia (magnaporthe-like sexual morphs) are responsible for major diseases on grasses. Pyricularia oryzae (sexual morph Magnaporthe oryzae) is responsible for the major disease of rice called rice blast disease, and foliar diseases of wheat and millet, while Pyricularia grisea (sexual morph Magnaporthe grisea) is responsible for foliar diseases of Digitaria. Magnaporthe salvinii...

abstract sclerogenic fungal pathogens, are among the most important diseases of rice plant. sheath blight caused by rhizoctonia solani is one of the economically important diseases that attack a wide range of hosts. stem rot (magnaporthe salvinii) has also been found with different severity in most fields of guilan province. to determine sclerogenic fungal pathogens of rice plant, 141 isolates ...

Background: Populations of Magnaporthe, the causal agent of rice blast disease, are pathotypically and genetically diverse and therefore their interaction with different rice cultivars and also antagonistic microorganisms are very complicated. Objectives: The objectives of the present study were to characterize phylogenetic relationships of 114 native  Magnaporthe strains, isolated from rice a...
