The filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae causes rice blast, the most serious disease of cultivated rice. Cellular differentiation of M. oryzae forms an infection structure called the appressorium, which generates enormous cellular turgor that is sufficient to rupture the plant cuticle. Here, we show how functional genomics approaches are providing new insight into the genetic control of plant infection by M. oryzae. We also look ahead to the key questions that need to be addressed to provide a better understanding of the molecular processes that lead to plant disease and the prospects for sustainable control of rice blast.
丝状真菌稻瘟病菌可引发稻瘟病，这是栽培水稻最严重的病害。稻瘟病菌的细胞分化形成一种名为附着胞的侵染结构，该结构会产生巨大的细胞膨压，足以使植物角质层破裂。在此，我们展示了功能基因组学方法如何为深入了解稻瘟病菌对植物侵染的遗传控制提供新的见解。我们还展望了为更好地理解导致植物病害的分子过程以及稻瘟病可持续防治前景而需要解决的关键问题。
