Abstract excerpt
Rice blast disease, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most importance diseases of rice production worldwide. The keyrole of defense mechanism to combat this fungus in rice follows the gene-for-gene concept, which a plant resistant (R) gene product recognizes a fungal avirulent (AVR) effector and triggers the hypersensitive response. However, the AVR genes have been shown to be rapidly evolving resulting...
