Abstract excerpt
Macroautophagy-mediated glycogen catabolism is required for asexual differentiation in the blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae. However, the function(s) of selective subtypes of autophagy has not been studied therein. Here, we report that mitophagy, selective autophagic delivery of mitochondria to the vacuoles for degradation, occurs during early stages of Magnaporthe conidiation. Specifically, mitophagy was evident...
