Extracellular Matrix Protein Gene, EMP1, Is Required for Appressorium Formation and Pathogenicity of Rice Blast Fungus, Magnaporthe grisea

Magnaporthe grisea, the causal fungus of rice blast, forms a specialized infection structure called an appressorium that is crucial for host plant penetration. a cDNA clone of M. grisea, showing strong sequence homology to FEM 1 of Fusarium Oxysporum and encoding an extracellular matrix protein, was...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Magnaporthe grisea, the causal fungus of rice blast, forms a specialized infection structure called an appressorium that is crucial for host plant penetration. a cDNA clone of M. grisea, showing strong sequence homology to FEM 1 of Fusarium Oxysporum and encoding an extracellular matrix protein, was isolated during an expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis of appressorium cDNA library and named extracellular matrix protein 1 (EMP1).
