Identification of New Pathogenicity Genes in Magnaporthe Oryzae through the Construction of an Agrobacterium Tumefacines-Mediated Insertion Mutant Library

An understanding of plant pathogen-host interactions is essential to design efficient strategies to control disease in crops. Magnaporthe oryzae, an ascomyceteous fungus and causal agent of rice blast disease, is a model organism to study host-microbe interactions. The overall aim of this dissertati...
