Rice blast fungus transcriptomics
- Archives of PhytoPathology and Plant Protection, 43(8), p.723-727, 2010 .
Since genomes of rice and blast fungus are sequenced, global profiling of gene expression i.e. transcriptomics has become an important tool to decipher molecular mechanisms underlying rice-blast interaction and infection related morphogenesis (appressorium formation and maturation, formation of penetration peg). This article summarises transcriptomics studies conducted on rice blast fungus.
