The initial stage of rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, infection, before 36 h
postinoculation, is a critical timespan for deploying pathogen effectors to overcome the …

The appropriate development of conidia and appressoria is critical in the disease cycle of
many fungal pathogens, including Magnaporthe oryzae. A total of eight genes (MoHOX1 to …

MoHrip2, identified from Magnaporthe oryzae as an elicitor, can activate plant defense
responses either in the form of recombinant protein in vitro or ectopic expressed protein in …

Secreted effectors from Magnaporthe oryzae play critical roles in the interaction with rice to
facilitate fungal infection and disease development. M. oryzae-secreted protein MoHrip1 can …

The cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A signaling pathway plays a major role in
regulating plant infection by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. Here, we report the …

Regulation of gene expression by transcription factors (TFs) helps plant pathogens to
interact with the host plants and to sustain a pathogenic lifestyle in the environmental …

Although multiple transcription factors (TFs) have been characterized via mutagenesis to
understand their roles in controlling pathogenicity and infection-related development in …

The hemibiotrophic pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae causes one of the most destructive
diseases in cultivated rice. Complex infection-related morphogenesis and production of …

To search for virulence effector genes of the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, we
carried out a large-scale targeted disruption of genes for 78 putative secreted proteins that …

The rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, is responsible for the most serious disease of
rice and is a continuing threat to ensuring global food security. The fungus has also …
