Against the grain: safeguarding rice from rice blast disease

Trends in Biotechnology, 2009
Rice is the staple diet of more than three billion people. Yields must double over the next 40 years if we are to sustain the nutritional needs of the ever-expanding global population. Between 10% and 30% of the annual rice harvest is lost due to infection by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.

Overexpression of OsGF14C enhances salinity tolerance but reduces blast resistance in rice

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
High-salinity and blast disease are two major stresses that cause dramatic yield loss in rice production. GF14 (14-3-3) genes have been reported to play important role in biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. However, the roles of OsGF14C remain unknown.

The ACE1 secondary metabolite gene cluster is a pathogenicity factor of wheat blast fungus

Communications Biology
Wheat blast caused by Pyricularia oryzae pathotype Triticum is now becoming a very serious threat to global food security. Here, we report an essential pathogenicity factor of the wheat blast fungus that is recognized and may be targeted by a rice ...

Cloning and analysis of QTL linked to blast disease resistance in Malaysian rice variety Pongsu seribu 2 [PDF]

, 2014
Blast, caused by Magnoporthe oryzae, is considered to be a global rice disease around the world including Malaysia. Limited information is available on the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) and linked markers associated with blast ...

Development of Virulence Test Methods for Neck and Panicle Blast Disease

Research in Plant Disease, 2015
Isolates of the rice blast fungus show a range of tissue-specificities infecting leaves, nodes, neck and panicles. Although neck and panicle blast cause significantly greater yield losses than the leaf blast, virulence tests of the blast isolates have ...
