Cell cycle-dependent regulation of plant infection by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae forms a specialized infection structure called appressorium which uses a turgor-driven mechanical process to breach the leaf cuticle and gain entry into plant tissue. Appressorium development and plant infection are regulated by cell cycle progression and cri...
