The rice blast fungus M. oryzae has emerged as a paradigm for the understanding of fungal aerial attack. M. oryzae also infect roots. Consequently, M. oryzae-rice interaction represents an excellent pathosystem for comparative studies of the distinct organ-specific mechanisms that occur during fungal colonisation of rice leaves and roots. We have characterised two pathogenicity-deficient mutants in M. oryzae lacking the karyopherin Msn5p/EXP5 [Plant Cell 22, 953 (2010)] and a novel RNA-binding protein (RBP35) present exclusively in filamentous fungi [PLoS Pathogens, under review]. This project aims to investigate both organ-specific and pos-transcriptional mechanisms that regulate the ability of M. oryzae to infect rice using the resources generated previously in my group. The work outlined in this proposal will extend this area of research through: |
