Localization of probe-accessible chitin and characterization of genes encoding chitin-binding domains during rice-Magnaporthe oryzae interactions
2011-05-01
Abstract excerpt
We examined the localization of probe-accessible chitin in Magnaporthe oryzae, which causes rice blast disease, during the early infection process and the functions of two genes encoding a chitin-binding domain (ChBD). Invasive hyphae in the first-invaded rice cell showed little staining with fluorescently labeled wheat germ agglutinin, a probe to detect chitin. However, in the second-invaded cell, hyphae showed s...
