Although allelic diversity of genes has been shown to contribute many phenotypic variations associated with different physiological processes in plants, information on abiotic stress-responsive is limited. Here it that the alleles OsWRKY45-1 and OsWRKY45-2 play roles abscisic acid (ABA) signalling salt stress adaptation rice. The two had transcriptional responses ABA stresses. OsWRKY45-1-overexpressing lines showed reduced sensitivity, whereas OsWRKY45-1-knockout increased sensitivity....
Changes in global temperatures profoundly affect the occurrence of plant diseases. It is well known that rice blast can easily become epidemic relatively warm weather. However, molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we show enhanced development at a temperature (22°C) compared with normal growth (28°C) plant-determined. Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis and signaling genes could be effectively induced by Magnaporthe oryzae 28°C but not...
Summary We identified the M agnaporthe oryzae avirulence effector A vr P i9 cognate to rice blast resistance gene by comparative genomics of requisite strains derived from a sequential planting method. AvrPi9 encodes small secreted protein that appears localize in biotrophic interfacial complex and is translocated host cell during infection. forms tandem array with its paralogue proximal centromeric region chromosome 7. expressed highly at early stages initiation disease. Virulent isolate...
The interaction of Magnaporthe oryzae, the rice blast fungus, and begins when M. oryzae establishes contact with host plant surface. On perception appropriate surface signals, forms appressoria initiates invasion. Pth11, an important G-protein-coupled receptor necessary for appressorium formation in contains seven transmembrane regions a CFEM (common several fungal extracellular membrane proteins) domain characteristic eight cysteine residues. We focused on gaining further insight into role...
Ustilaginoidea virens, which causes rice false smut disease, is a destructive filamentous fungal pathogen, attracting more attention to search for effective fungicides against U. virens. Here, the results showed that inhibition of 2 nm AgNPs on virens growth and virulence displayed concentration-dependent manner. Abnormalities morphology were observed upon exposure AgNPs. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis revealed treatment up-regulated 1185 genes down-regulated 937 genes, significantly...
Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases rice. During infection, M. oryzae secretes effectors to facilitate blast development. Among these effectors, avirulence factor AvrPi9 recognized Pi9, a broad-spectrum resistance protein that triggers Pi9-mediated in However, little known about interaction between and Pi9 how exerts virulence promote infection. In this study, we found ectopic expression Pi9-lacking cultivar TP309 suppressed basal against oryzae....
Rice false smut disease, which is caused by the fungus Ustilaginoidea virens, currently one of most devastating rice fungal diseases in world. disease not only causes severe yield loss and grain quality reduction, but also threatens food safety due to its production mycotoxins. In this review, recent progresses regarding life cycle, infection processes, genome genetic diversity, pathogenic gene resistance were summarized order provide theoretical basis for control U. virens. We proposed some...
Ustilaginoidea virens has become one of the most devastating rice pathogens in China, as well other rice-growing areas. Autophagy is an important process normal cell differentiation and development among various organisms. To date, there been no optimized experimental system introduced for study autophagy U. virens. In addition, function pathogenesis remains unknown Therefore, functional analyses UvAtg8 may potentially shed some light on regulatory mechanism this study, we characterized...
Abstract Mitophagy is a selective autophagy for the degradation of damaged or excessive mitochondria to maintain intracellular homeostasis. In Magnaporthe oryzae , filamentous ascomycetous fungus that causes rice blast, most devastating disease rice, mitophagy occurs in invasive hyphae promote infection. To date, only few proteins are known participate and mechanisms largely unknown pathogenic fungi. Here, by yeast two‐hybrid screen with core autophagy‐related protein MoAtg8 as bait, we...
Blast disease, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, wreaks havoc on crops worldwide, resulting in an approximate loss of 20%–30% annual rice yield (He et al., 2020He M. Su J. Xu Y.

The fungus Ustilaginoidea virens, which impacts rice spikes, causes false smut (RFS), a significant prevalent disease in cultivation regions globally. Cytochrome P450 genes are known to be involved secondary metabolism and pathogenesis various species, but studies on CYP450 U. virens limited. In this research, family gene, CYP503, was found up-regulated during invasion stage of virens. Observation fluorescence indicated that UvCYP503-GFP is situated within cytoplasm hyphae. Disruption CYP503...
The RecA/RAD51 family of rice (Oryza sativa) consists at least 13 members. However, the functions most these members are unknown. Here functional characterization one member this family, RAD51C, is reported. Knockout (KO) RAD51C resulted in both female and male sterility rice. Transferring to RAD51C-KO line restored fertility. Cytological analyses showed that plants was associated with abnormal early meiotic processes megasporocytes pollen mother cells (PMCs). PMCs had an absence normal...
Abstract Magnaporthe oryzae causes rice blast disease, which seriously threatens the safety of food production. Understanding mechanism appressorium formation, is one key steps for successful infection by M . , helpful to formulate effective control strategies blast. In this study, we identified MoWhi2, homolog Saccharomyces cerevisiae Whi2 (Whisky2), as an important regulator that controls formation in M. When MoWHI2 was disrupted, multiple appressoria were formed conidium and pathogenicity...
Humidity is a critical environmental factor affecting the epidemic of plant diseases. However, it still unclear how ambient humidity affects occurrence diseases in plants. In this study, we show that high enhanced blast development rice plants under laboratory conditions. Furthermore, found virulence Magnaporthe oryzae by promoting conidial germination and appressorium formation. addition, results RNA-sequencing analysis ethylene content assessment revealed suppressed accumulation activation...
