Plant volatile compounds, including terpenes, are known to be involved in the rice defense system. In the present analysis of a terpene synthase, OsTPS18, in rice, we found that OsTPS18 was localized in the cytoplasm and synthesized the sesquiterp...
Magnaporthe oryzae, the fungus causing rice blast disease, should contend with host innate immunity to develop invasive hyphae (IH) within living host cells. However, molecu- lar strategies to establish the biotrophic interactions are largely unkn...
Membrane trafficking plays pivotal roles in many cellular processes including plant immunity. Here, we report the characterization of OsVAMP714, an intracellular SNARE protein, focusing on its role in resistance to rice blast disease caused by the...

Alternaria black rot, Alternaria leaf spot of rough lemon, and Alternaria brown spot of tangerines are three major citrus Alternaria pathogens. Citrus could be considered as a molecular contact point for host-selective toxin (HST)-mediated co-evol...

Biotrophic pathogens need to contend with host defense mechanisms to develop within living host cells. To understand the biotrophic interactions between rice and Magnaporthe oryzae, the fungus causing rice blast disease, we studied molecular mecha...
The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae grows inside living host cells. Cytological analyses by live-cell imaging have revealed characteristics of the biotrophic invasion, particularly the extrainvasive hyphal membrane (EIHM) originating from the...

Root formation in rice transformants overexpressing mutated EL5 (mEL5) was severely inhibited because of meristematic cell death. Cell death was caused by nitrogen sources, particularly nitrate forms, in the culture medium. Nitrite treatment incre...
