Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Analysis of the Genomes of Two Field Isolates of the Rice Blast Fungus Magnaporthe oryzae
Minfeng Xue,Jun Yang,Zhigang Li,Songnian Hu,Nan Yao,Ralph A. Dean,Wensheng Zhao,Mi Shen,Haiwang Zhang,Chao Li,Liyuan Liu,Lei Cao,Xiao-Wen Xu,Yunfei Xing,Tom Hsiang,Ziding Zhang,Jin-Rong Xu,You-Liang Peng +17 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that gain or loss of unique genes, DNA duplication, gene family expansion, and frequent translocation of transposon-like elements are important factors in genome variation of the rice blast fungus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific adaptation of Ustilaginoidea virens in occupying host florets revealed by comparative and functional genomics
Yong Zhang,Kang Zhang,Anfei Fang,Yanqing Han,Jun Yang,Minfeng Xue,Jiandong Bao,Dongwei Hu,Bo Zhou,Xianyun Sun,Shaojie Li,Ming Wen,Nan Yao,Li-Jun Ma,Yongfeng Liu,Min Zhang,Fu Huang,Chaoxi Luo,Ligang Zhou,Jianqiang Li,Zhiyi Chen,Jiankun Miao,Shu Wang,Jinsheng Lai,Jin-Rong Xu,Tom Hsiang,You-Liang Peng,Wenxian Sun +27 more
TL;DR: A draft genome sequence of U. virens is reported, showing that 18 candidate effectors can suppress plant hypersensitive responses and genes for secreted proteins and secondary metabolism and the pathogen-host interaction database genes are highly enriched in the transcriptome during early infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fumigant activity of volatiles of Streptomyces globisporus JK-1 against Penicillium italicum on Citrus microcarpa
TL;DR: Volatiles from S. globisporus JK-1 have potential for control of blue mold of citrus species through fumigant action and weak inhibitory activity in vitro but no significant efficacy against P. italicum in planta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of glutathione S-transferase genes of Nicotiana benthamiana following infection by Colletotrichum destructivum and C. orbiculare and involvement of one in resistance
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the different GST genes respond in different ways to fungal infection, and at least one plant GST gene has an important role in disease development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of relative RT-PCR and northern blot analyses to measure expression of β-1,3-glucanase in Nicotiana benthamiana infected with Colltotrichum destructivum
TL;DR: A high correlation was observed between the relative quantification of β-1,3-glucanase gene expression as determined by northern blot and relative RT-PCR analyses, demonstrating the validity of relative RT -PCR with a plant EF-1α gene as a control.
