From appressorium to transpressorium—Defining the morphogenetic basis of host cell invasion by the rice blast fungus
Abstract
To cause disease, many fungal pathogens develop specialised structures to rupture the tough outer layers of their plant or animal hosts. These infection cells, called appressoria, have been extensively studied in many fungal species [1]...

License to not kill: How a biotrophic pathogen keeps the host alive
Abstract
Plants and microbes coexist in nature by establishing a variety of interactions ranging from the most beneficial, such as symbiotic (Kawaguchi and Minamisawa, 2010), where both the microbe and the plant show enhanced ability to thrive a...

The transcriptional landscape of plant infection by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae reveals distinct families of temporally co-regulated and structurally conserved effectors
Abstract
The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae causes a devastating disease which threatens global rice production. In spite of intense study, the biology of plant tissue invasion during blast disease remains poorly understood. Here we report...

Effector-triggered susceptibility by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.
Abstract
Rice blast, the most destructive disease of cultivated rice world-wide, is caused by the filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. To cause disease in plants, M. oryzae secretes a diverse range of effector proteins to suppress plant defens...
