Abstract excerpt
The rapid variation of avirulence genes in Magnaporthe oryzae undermines the resistance function in rice varieties carrying cognate resistance genes. Monitoring the variation of these avirulence genes is crucial for deploying resistant rice cultivars in the field. AVR-Pita3 is known as a gene that lacks avirulent activity to rice carrying Pi-ta. However, its distribution, evolution, and avirulence function in M....
