Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and Functional Analysis of the Pheromone Response Factor Gene of Sporisorium scitamineum.

TL;DR: In this article, the pheromone response factor (Prf1) was found to play a key role in mating and pathogenicity in S. scitamineum, via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation mutagenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Dual-Color Imaging System for Sugarcane Smut Fungus Sporisorium scitamineum

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GFP- and RFP-tagged strains can be used to study the life cycle development of the fungal pathogen S. scitamineum, including the sexual mating and meiosis events, and this dual-color imaging system would be a valuable tool for investigation of biotic and abiotic factors that might affect theFungalLife cycle development and pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Farnesyltransferase β-Subunit Ram1 Regulates Sporisorium scitamineum Mating, Pathogenicity and Cell Wall Integrity.

TL;DR: Overall this study displayed that RAM1 plays an essential role in S. scitamineum mating/filamentation, pathogenicity, and cell wall stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tangeretin inhibits fungal ferroptosis to suppress rice blast.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors revealed that a natural flavonoid, tangeretin, substantially delays the formation of M. oryzae appressoria and blocks the development of blast lesions on rice plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

MoGT2 Is Essential for Morphogenesis and Pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae.

TL;DR: The results show that MoGt2 is important for infection-related morphogenesis and pathogenesis in M. oryzae, the first report of type 2 glycosyltransferase function in the ascomycete fungus.
