Project description:In this study we identified the L-arabinose-responsive regulator of Pyricularia oryzae that regulates L-arabinose release and catabolism. Previously we identified the Zn2Cys6 transcription factor (TF) AraR that has this role in the Trichocomaceae family (Eurotiales), but is absent in other fungi. Candidate Zn2Cys6 TF genes were selected according to their transcript profiles on L-arabinose. Deletion mutants of these genes were screened for their growth phenotype on L-arabinose. One mutant, named Δara1, was further analyzed. Our analysis demonstrated that Ara1 from P. oryzae is the functional homolog of AraR from A. niger, while sequence analysis did not reveal significant homology between them.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE8517: Magnaporthe oryzae gene expression during biotrophic invasion of rice using version 2 of the Agilent Magnaporthe grisea Array (G4137B). GSE8518: Rice gene expression during biotrophic invasion by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae using the Agilent Rice Array (G4138A). Keywords: SuperSeries Refer to individual Series
Project description:Mycelium from the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae was grown in both rich medium and under nutrient limiting conditions. Genes were identified that were more highly expressed in one condition as compared to the other.

Project description:We report that the homeobox trasncription factor called HOX7 controls hyphae-associated genes, autophagy and cell cycle related genes necessary for appressorium development in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. We also report that the ste transcription factor MST12 regulates gene functions involved in septin reorientation.
Project description:Analysis of transgenic rice overexpressing OsWRKY28, a WRKY type transcription factor. Results provide insight into the role of OsWRKY28 in the defense signaling against rice blast fungus. Expression profiling in wild-type and OsWRKY28 overexpressing rice leaves infected with or without Magnaporthe Oryzae was analyzed using one-color method with three biological replicates.
