This project investigates the genetic mechanisms of fungal infection in crops, focusing on the model organism Magnaporthe grisea. By utilizing various scientific approaches, it aims to understand the role of specific genes and transcription factors in the fungus's ability to penetrate and colonize plant tissues.
Magnaporthe grisea has emerged as a model system for the elucidation of mechanisms of fungal pathogenesis in crops.
During the leaf infection process, the hyphal tip of a germinated conidium swells to form a melanised penetration structure known as an appressorium.
Subsequently, M. grisea penetrates the leaf epidermis and develops a pseudohyphal and filamentous-like growth to colonise the first infected cell.
We plan to use a multidisciplinary approach which includes transcriptomics, cell biolog…
