Research Abstract |
It is important to develop methods to prevent rice blast from causing loss of rice yields. We need to clarify the infection process of rice seedlings by rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. M. oryzae secretes effector proteins, which are translocated into rice cytoplasm, disrupt defense responses of rice, and enhance the blast disease. In this study, we show that the signal peptide of effectors is enough to be delivered into rice cytoplasm.
