Outline of Final Research Achievements

We found the appropriate conditions for germination, adhesion, and appressorium formation of Pyricularia oryzae, the rice blast fungus, on tomato leaves. We also establish the conditions of high-depth LED-UV irradiation to be >99.9% lethal, and P. oryzae was subjected to induce mutation by LED-UV irradiation under the conditions. Non-or weakly pathogenic mutant strain has not be obtained yet. We constructed a transformation vector for continuous expression of a secreted avirulence gene, SIX4, of tomato wilt fungus. The blast fungus was transformed using this vector, and we successfully obtained the SIX4-introduced transformants. Pretreatment of tomato with the SIX4-introduce transformant significantly inhibited the wilt disease in tomato caused by Fusarium oxysporum. This shows the possibility of blast fungus can be used as "bio microsyringe."
