Abstract excerpt
Mnh6, a nonhistone protein containing an HMG1 box, was isolated from the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea. In the current study, we utilized an MNH6-deletion mutant to investigate the role of Mnh6 in the disease cycle of M. grisea. The Deltamnh6 mutant exhibited pleiotropic effects on fungal morphogenesis, including reduction in mycelial growth, conidiation, appressorium development, plant penetration, and...
