574(7778):423-427.
PMID: 31597961
The blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae gains entry to its host plant by means of a specialized pressure-generating infection cell called an appressorium, which physically ruptures the leaf cuticle. Turgor is...

Genetics
. 2018 Nov;
211(1):151-167.
PMID: 30446520
The pathogenic life cycle of the rice blast fungus involves a series of morphogenetic changes, essential for its ability to cause disease. The mutation was identified > 25 years ago,...

Environ Microbiol
. 2017 Feb;
19(3):1008-1016.
PMID: 28165657
The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae elaborates a specialized cell called an appressorium, which is used to breach the tough outer cuticle of a rice leaf, enabling the fungus entry...

PMID: 28029337
Existing theory, empirical, clinical and field research all predict that reducing the virulence of individuals within a pathogen population will reduce the overall virulence, rendering disease less severe. Here, we...

. 2016 Mar;
17(4):444.
PMID: 27023523
The dematiaceous (melanised) fungus Lomentospora (Scedosporium) prolificans is a life-threatening opportunistic pathogen of immunocompromised humans, resistant to anti-fungal drugs. Melanin has been shown to protect human pathogenic fungi against antifungal...

PLoS One
. 2014 Jun;
9(6):e99760.
PMID: 24949933
The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae causes plant disease via specialised infection structures called appressoria. These dome-shaped cells are able to generate enormous internal pressure, which enables penetration of rice...
