Rice blast, caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe grisea, is one of the most devastating diseases of rice. The specific interaction between rice and M. grisea is an important model system for studying the host-pathogen interaction mechanisms. In this article, we summarized recent research progresses on avirulence genes, which are the most important effectors in M. grisea with the focus on chromosome mapping, cloning method, functional analysis, and evolution study of avirulence genes, and the possible hotspot of the research on avirulence genes in the future was also been discussed. This knowledge may shed a light on the molecular mechanism underlying avirulence genes function and the possible interaction relationship between the host and the pathogen.
稻瘟病由真菌病原体稻瘟病菌引起，是水稻最具毁灭性的病害之一。水稻与稻瘟病菌之间的特异性互作是研究宿主 - 病原体互作机制的重要模型系统。在本文中，我们总结了无毒基因的最新研究进展，无毒基因是稻瘟病菌中最重要的效应因子，重点关注无毒基因的染色体定位、克隆方法、功能分析和进化研究，并探讨了未来无毒基因研究可能的热点。这些知识可能有助于揭示无毒基因功能的分子机制以及宿主与病原体之间可能的相互作用关系。
