Disabling a conserved module confers broad‐spectrum resistance
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.This commentary reviews the discovery by Yuan et al. of a conserved susceptibility module where fungal Gas2 stabilizes host SnRK1β1A to suppress nuclear immunity in rice. It discusses the mechanism for broad‐spectrum resistance via genome editing and considers the essential balance between enhanced defense and associated agronomic trade‐offs.

Transcriptome profiling of the rice blast fungus during invasive plant infection and in vitro stresses [PDF]
, 2011 Background Rice blast is the most threatening disease to cultivated rice. Magnaporthe oryzae, its causal agent, is likely to encounter environmental challenges during invasive growth in its host plants that require shifts in gene expression to establish ...

Overexpression of Rice Wall-Associated Kinase 25 (OsWAK25) Alters Resistance to Bacterial and Fungal Pathogens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Wall-associated kinases comprise a sub-family of receptor-like kinases that function in plant growth and stress responses. Previous studies have shown that the rice wall-associated kinase, OsWAK25, interacts with a diverse set of proteins associated with

The β-1,3-glucanosyltransferases (Gels) affect the structure of the rice blast fungal cell wall during appressorium-mediated plant infection [PDF]
, 2017 The fungal wall is pivotal for cell shape and function, and in interfacial protection during host infection and environmental challenge. Here, we provide the first description of the carbohydrate composition and structure of the cell wall of the rice ...

Parasexual Recombination in Magnaporthe oryzae
Japan Agricultural Research Quarterly: JARQ, 2011 Parasexual recombination is thought to be one of the causes of variation in the pathogenicity of rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, which breaks down resistant rice varieties. In this study, the virulence and fitness of parasexual recombinants of M. oryzae were examined in vitro and in the field.
