Host induced gene silencing of Magnaporthe oryzae by targeting pathogenicity and development genes to control rice blast disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Rice blast disease caused by the hemi-biotrophic fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is the most destructive disease of rice world-wide. Traditional disease resistance strategies for the control of rice blast disease have not proved durable.
