Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae), is a filamentous ascomycete that causes a
major disease called blast on cereal crops, as well as on a wide variety of wild and …

Rice blast is a serious threat to the safe production of grain crops such as rice and wheat.
Sporulation, appressorium formation, and invasive growth of Magnaporthe oryzae are the …

The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae differentiates specialized cells called appressoria
that are required for fungal penetration into host leaves. In this study, we identified the novel …

The transcription factor FgHtf1 is important for conidiogenesis in Fusarium graminearum and
it positively regulates the expression of the sporulation-related gene FgCON7. However, the …

Magnaporthe oryzae is placed first on a list of the world's top ten plant pathogens with the
highest scientific and economic importance. The locus MGG_07173 occurs only once in the …

The multifunctional carbon catabolite repression negative on TATA-box-less complex
(CCR4-NOT) is a multi-subunit complex present in all eukaryotes, including fungi. This …

The Myb family of transcription factors (TFs) is a large and functionally diverse group found
in all eukaryotes. Its role in fungi remains poorly studied, despite the fact that it is thought to …

The conserved DNA damage repair complex, MMS21–SMC5/6 (Methyl methane sulfonate
21–Structural maintenance of chromosomes 5/6), has been extensively studied in yeast …

The Myb family of transcription factors (TFs) is a large and functionally diverse group found
in all eukaryotes, but its role in fungi remains poorly understood. Here, we characterized a …

Isw2 is known to bind DNA, using a Myb-type DNA binding domain and with another part of
the protein interact with histones in the closest nucleosome to pull the two closest …
