Autophagy is a conserved cellular process that degrades cytoplasmic constituents in vacuoles. Plant pathogenic fungi develop special infection structures and/or secrete a range of enzymes to invade their plant hosts. It has been demonstrated that monitoring autophagy processes can be extremely useful in visualizing the sequence of events leading to pathogenicity of plant pathogenic fungi. In this review, we introduce the molecular mechanisms involved in autophagy. In addition, we explore the relationship between autophagy and pathogenicity in plant pathogenic fungi. Finally, we discuss the various experimental strategies available for use in the study of autophagy in plant pathogenic fungi.
自噬是一种保守的细胞过程，可在液泡中降解细胞质成分。植物病原真菌会形成特殊的侵染结构和/或分泌一系列酶来入侵其植物宿主。已经证明，监测自噬过程对于可视化导致植物病原真菌致病性的事件序列非常有用。在这篇综述中，我们介绍了自噬所涉及的分子机制。此外，我们还探讨了自噬与植物病原真菌致病性之间的关系。最后，我们讨论了用于研究植物病原真菌自噬的各种实验策略。
