Male fertility in Pyricularia oryzae: Microconidia are spermatia. [PDF]
Sexual reproduction in Ascomycetes is well described in several model organisms such as Neurospora crassa or Podospora anserina. Deciphering the biological process of sexual reproduction (from the recognition between compatible partners to the formation ...

Pyricularia oryzae: Lab star and field scourge. [PDF]
Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae), is a filamentous ascomycete that causes a major disease called blast on cereal crops, as well as on a wide variety of wild and cultivated grasses.

First telomere-to-telomere gapless assembly of the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae [PDF]
Rice blast caused by Pyricularia oryzae (syn., Magnaporthe oryzae) was one of the most destructive diseases of rice throughout the world. Genome assembly was fundamental to genetic variation identification and critically impacted the understanding of its

Adaptive evolution in virulence effectors of the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae. [PDF]
Plant pathogens secrete proteins called effectors that target host cellular processes to promote disease. Recently, structural genomics has identified several families of fungal effectors that share a similar three-dimensional structure despite ...

Horizontally Transferred DNA in the Genome of the Fungus Pyricularia oryzae is Associated With Repressive Histone Modifications. [PDF]
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a means of exchanging genetic material asexually. The process by which horizontally transferred genes are domesticated by the host genome is of great interest but is not well understood.

Pan-Genomics Reveals a New Variation Pattern of Secreted Proteins in Pyricularia oryzae. [PDF]
(1) Background: Pyricularia oryzae, the causal agent of rice blast disease, is one of the major rice pathogens. The complex population structure of P. oryzae facilitates the rapid virulence variations, which make the blast disease a serious challenge for

Maintenance of divergent lineages of the Rice Blast Fungus Pyricularia oryzae through niche separation, loss of sex and post-mating genetic incompatibilities. [PDF]
Many species of fungal plant pathogens coexist as multiple lineages on the same host, but the factors underlying the origin and maintenance of population structure remain largely unknown.

The structural landscape and diversity of Pyricularia oryzae MAX effectors revisited. [PDF]
Magnaporthe AVRs and ToxB-like (MAX) effectors constitute a family of secreted virulence proteins in the fungus Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae), which causes blast disease on numerous cereals and grasses. In spite of high sequence divergence,

The target site of the novel fungicide quinofumelin, Pyricularia oryzae class II dihydroorotate dehydrogenase. [PDF]
The target site of the novel fungicide quinofumelin was investigated in the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae. Quinofumelin-induced mycelial growth inhibition was reversed by orotate but not by dihydroorotate.
