Abstract excerpt
Differential cDNA cloning was used to identify genes expressed during infectious growth of the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe grisea in its host, the rice plant. We characterized one of these genes, MPG1, in detail. Using a novel assay to determine the proportion of fungal biomass present in the plant, we determined that the MPG1 transcript was 60-fold more abundant during growth in the plant than in culture. Mpg1...
