The CPKA Gene of Magnaporthe grisea Is Essential for Appressorial Penetration

1997-03-01

Abstract excerpt

The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea uses appressoria to penetrate into plant cells. Appressorium formation occurs following conidial germination on hydrophobic surfaces and may involve a cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent signaling mechanism. Recently, gene replacement mutants of CPKA, a gene encoding a proposed catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, were shown to be defective in appressorium formatio...
