Appressorium-mediated plant infection by Magnaporthe oryzae is regulated by a Pmk1-dependent hierarchical transcriptional network

Miriam Oses-Ruiz et al.

Summary: Rice blast, caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae, is a devastating disease that poses a threat to rice production worldwide. Researchers have identified a network of transcription factors that are coregulated downstream of the Pmk1 pathway, regulating gene expression during appressorium-mediated plant infection. This regulatory cascade provides new potential targets for disease intervention in rice plants.

Chitin Deacetylases Are Required for Epichloe festucae Endophytic Cell Wall Remodeling During Establishment of a Mutualistic Symbiotic Interaction with Lolium perenne

Nazanin Noorifar et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that the cell wall of E. festucae is remodeled during infection of Lolium perenne seedlings, with chitin converted to chitosan catalyzed by chitin deacetylase. The genes encoding chitin deacetylases cdaA and cdaB are necessary for fungal intercalary growth within plant cells.
