Abstract excerpt
Wheat blast caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae Triticum (MoT) pathotype is a catastrophic disease that threatens global food security. Recently, Rmg8 was discovered as a blast resistance gene in wheat genotype S615. However, although Rmg8 has recently been cloned, the precise underlying biochemical and molecular mechanisms by which this gene confers resistance against MoT remain to be fully elucidated. This...
