Open AccessDistinctive phosphorylation pattern during mitotic exit network (MEN) regulation is important for the development and pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae
The mitotic exit network (MEN) pathway is a vital kinase cascade regulating the timely and correct progress of cell division. In the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, the MEN pathway, consisting of conserved ...

Gene deletion and constitutive expression of the pectate lyase gene 1 (MoPL1) lead to diminished virulence of Magnaporthe oryzae
Phytopathogenic fungi are known to secrete specific proteins which act as virulence factors and promote host colonization. Some of them are enzymes with plant cell wall degradation capability, like pectate lya...

The inhibitor of apoptosis protein MoBir1 is involved in the suppression of hydrogen peroxide-induced fungal cell death, reactive oxygen species generation, and pathogenicity of rice blast fungus
The inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family has been identified in a variety of organisms. All IAPs contain one to three baculoviral IAP repeat (BIR) domains, which are required for anti-apoptotic activity...

Pleiotropic roles of O-mannosyltransferase MoPmt4 in development and pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae
In fungi, O-mannosylation is one type of conserved protein modifications that add the carbohydrate residues to specific residues of target proteins by protein O-mannosyltransferases. Previously, three members of

Genome plasticity in filamentous plant pathogens contributes to the emergence of novel effectors and their cellular processes in the host
Plant diseases cause extensive yield loss of crops worldwide, and secretory ‘warfare’ occurs between plants and pathogenic organisms all the time. Filamentous plant pathogens have evolved the ability to manipu...

Article
The putative Gγ subunit gene MGG1 is required for conidiation, appressorium formation, mating and pathogenicity in Magnaporthe oryzae
Heterotrimeric G-proteins play key roles in the transduction of extracellular signals to various downstream effectors in eukaryotes. In our previous study, a T-DNA insertional mutant A1-412, in which the prom...
