Pathogen entry to plant cells can release cell wall components. Here the authors show that two endoglucanases secreted by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, produce specific oligosaccharides from rice cell walls that trigger immunity by promoting ...

HDACs (histone deacetylases) regulate various aspects of growth, development, and pathogenesis in plant-pathogenic fungi. Most members of HDAC classes I to III have been functionally characterized, except for orthologous Rpd3 and Hst4, in the rice blast ...

Understanding the Dynamics of Blast Resistance in Rice-Magnaporthe oryzae Interactions
Rice is a global food grain crop for more than one-third of the human population and a source for food and nutritional security. Rice production is subjected to various stresses; blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the major biotic ...

Fungi and oomycetes deliver effectors into living plant cells to suppress defenses and control plant processes needed for infection. Little is known about the mechanism by which these pathogens translocate effector proteins across the plasma membrane ...

Inheritance and allelic relationship of foliar blast resistance gene(s) in pearl millet
Foliar blast disease in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) caused by Magnaporthe grisea once considered as a minor disease, has become major threat for pearl millet cultivation during recent decade in almost all pearl millet growing areas ...
