The allelic rice immune receptor Pikh confers extended resistance to strains of the blast fungus through a single polymorphism in the effector binding interface

Juan Carlos De la Concepcion et al.

Summary: The arms race co-evolution drives rapid adaptive changes in pathogens and host immune systems. Plant intracellular NLR immune receptors play a crucial role in detecting effector variants delivered by pathogens, triggering immune responses to halt colonization. The molecular mechanisms underlying natural variation in effector recognition by NLRs are starting to be elucidated, shedding light on how different NLR receptor alleles functionally converge to extend recognition specificity to pathogen effectors.

A single amino acid polymorphism in a conserved effector of the multihost blast fungus pathogen expands host-target binding spectrum

Adam Bentham et al.

Summary: Accelerated gene evolution is a hallmark of pathogen adaptation following host-jumps. In this study, the researchers unraveled the basis of adaptive evolution of APikL2, an effector gene in the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. They found that a single amino acid change in APikL2 expanded its binding spectrum to host proteins, shedding light on a common mechanism of effector specialization in the AVR-Pik/APikL2 family. This research provides a detailed molecular evolution and structural biology framework for understanding how fungal pathogens adapt and diversify following host jumps.

Investigating the cell and developmental biology of plant infection by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

Alice Bisola Eseola et al.

Summary: This article introduces the mechanisms by which the rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae infects and spreads in host cells, including the development of appressoria, intracellular autophagy, effector protein secretion, and the specialized structures involved in cell-to-cell spread. The article provides a comprehensive overview of the morphogenetic transitions in rice blast disease within plant tissue, with a focus on live cell imaging studies.

Multiple variants of the fungal effector AVR-Pik bind the HMA domain of the rice protein OsHIPP19, providing a foundation to engineer plant defense

Josephine H. R. Maidment et al.

Summary: Microbial plant pathogens secrete effector proteins to manipulate hosts for infection, triggering an immune response. The AVR-Pik effector from the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is recognized by rice NLR receptors Pik-1 and Pik-2, activating plant defenses. The interaction between AVR-Pik and OsHIPP19 targets a wider range of variants compared to Pik-1's HMA domain, potentially expanding disease resistance in rice.
