Magnaporthe grisea cutinase2 mediates appressorium differentiation and host penetration and is required for full virulence.

The Plant cell - 1 Aug 2007

Skamnioti Pari, Gurr Sarah J

Abstract excerpt

The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea infects its host by forming a specialized infection structure, the appressorium, on the plant leaf. The enormous turgor pressure generated within the appressorium drives the emerging penetration peg forcefully through the plant cuticle. Hitherto, the involvement of cutinase(s) in this process has remained unproven. We identified a specific M. grisea cutinase, CUT2, whose...
