ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF NATURAL AND NATURAL-INSPIRED BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS TO CONTROL THE RICE BLAST FUNGUS
… Pyricularia oryzae, the causal agent of rice blast and of other cereals, is particularly devastating due to its rapid spread and ability to infect multiple cereal crops. This thesis explores the discovery and development of natural and nature-inspired compounds as multitarget biofungicides, …

Preliminary evaluation of the rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe grisea) as a potential bioherbicide control agent for crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis) infestations of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb. cv. Fawn) turf
This study addressed the possibility of rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe grisea) as a potential bioherbicide for the control of crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), in turf/lawn plantings. Experiments were: (i) evaluation of the effect of bioherbicide inoculum dosage (titer) on disease severity in …

Protein Kinase A Regulates Hyphal Growth by Relieving the Interaction of MoSfl1 with the Cyc8-Tup1 Co-repressor in Magnaporthe oryzae
… virulence in plant pathogenic fungi. In the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, it regulates surface recognition, appressorium turgor generation, and invasive growth. Two genes in M. oryzae named CPKA and CPK2 encode the catalytic subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A. Previous studies …

Magnaporthe Oryzae Telomeric Retrotransposon (moter) Relics Further Highlight Telomere Dynamics In A Rapidly Evolving Fungal Pathogen
… genome rearrangements. A series of local BLASTn and grep searches in the Unix Command Line were used to find and describe MoTeR relics. We found that MoTeR relics were found, on average, within 250 kb of the telomere and were often flanked by duplicate sequences that also mapped closely to …
