Identification and characterization of apf1- in a non-pathogenic mutant of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea which is unable to differentiate appressoria
1998-10-01
Abstract excerpt
In a cross between two isolates of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea, a spontaneous mutant was identified which was non-pathogenic on rice and did not differentiate appressoria on hydrophobic surfaces. The mutant was also non-pathogenic on rice when inoculated on wounded leaves, suggesting that its ability to grow in plant tissue was also impaired. Mutant spores were three-celled, with apical cells longer t...
