Common Genetic Pathways Regulate Organ-Specific Infection-Related Development in the Rice Blast Fungus[W]

This study describes fungal infection–related development of Magnaporthe oryzae induced on rice roots and on hydrophilic polystyrene. A fungal mutant with abnormal preinfection hyphae and lacking the ortholog of the karyopherin exportin-5 had defects in full disease symptom production on leaves and roots, showing that this fungal karyopherin plays an important role during plant colonisation
