Fungal gene expression during pathogenesis-related development and host plant colonization.
To successfully infect plants, pathogenic fungi must recognize and communicate with their host during different stages of the disease cycle. In past years, techniques such as insertional mutagenesis, sensitive GFP-based reporter systems and microarray techniques have been developed to analyze these processes at the molecular level, and now novel insights into this fascinating aspect of pathogen-plant communication are beginning to emerge. This is exemplified by a number of pathogenicity genes functioning in distinct stages of pathogenic development in Magnaporthe grisea.
