SUMMARY Taxonomy: Kingdom Fungi; Phylum Ascomycota; Class Sordariomycetes; Order
Magnaporthales; Family Pyriculariaceae (anamorph)/Magnaporthaceae (teleomorph); …

Magnaporthe oryzae is described as a new species distinct from M. grisea. Gene trees were
inferred for Magnaporthe species using portions of three genes: actin, beta-tubulin, and …

Species of Pyricularia (magnaporthe-like sexual morphs) are responsible for major diseases
on grasses. Pyricularia oryzae (sexual morph Magnaporthe oryzae) is responsible for the …

This exciting new book describes the use of DNA fingerprinting and its application in a wide
area of plant and fungal research. It presents a thorough theoretical introduction to DNA …

Rice, as a widely and intensively cultivated crop, should be a target for parasite host shifts
and a source for shifts to co-occurring weeds. Magnaporthe oryzae, of the M. grisea species …

RESULTS The PWL2 gene is a member of a multigene family. We have surveyed 52 M.
grisea strains isolated from diverse grass species other than rice (Table 1) for sequences …

We report the cloning and characterisation of Pot2, a putative transposable element from
Magnaporthe grisea. The element is 1857 by in size, has 43-bp perfect terminal inverted …

ABSTRACT DNA samples from Magnaporthe grisea isolates were fingerprinted by using
repetitive element-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR) with two outwardly directed …

The population genetics of Magnaporthe grisea, the rice blast pathogen, were analyzed in a
center of rice diversity (the Uttar Pradesh hills of the Indian Himalayas) using multilocus and …
