Disruption of the Interfacial Membrane Leads to Magnaporthe oryzae Effector Re-location and Lifestyle Switch During Rice Blast Disease Open
To cause the devastating rice blast disease, the hemibiotrophic fungus Magnaporthe oryzae produces invasive hyphae (IH) that are enclosed in a plant-derived interfacial membrane, known as the extra-invasive hyphal membrane (EIHM), in livin…

A strikingly-angled spindle mediates nuclear migration during colonization of rice cells infected by Magnaporthe oryzae Open
To cause rice blast disease, Magnaporthe oryzae must properly organize microtubules and position nuclei during colonization of host cells. Live cell confocal imaging of fluorescently-tagged microtubules and nuclei of M. oryzae invasive hyp…

The hemibiotrophic fungus Magnaporthe oryzae produces invasive hyphae enclosed in a plant-derived interfacial membrane, known as the extra-invasive hyphal membrane (EIHM), in living rice cells. Little is known about when the EIHM is disrup…

The appressorium of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae remains mitotically active during post-penetration hyphal growth Open
To investigate the mitotic dynamics of an appressorium, we used live-cell confocal imaging of a fluorescence-based mitotic reporter strain of Magnaporthe oryzae. We present evidence that the M. oryzae appressorium remains viable and mitoti…

The appressorium of<i>Magnaporthe oryzae</i>remains mitotically active during post-penetration hyphal growth in rice cells Open
To investigate the mitotic dynamics of an appressorium, we used time-lapse confocal imaging of a fluorescence-based mitotic reporter strain of Magnaporthe oryzae . We present evidence that: (i) appressoria remain viable and mitotically act…

Nuclear and structural dynamics during the establishment of a specialized effector-secreting cell by<i>Magnaporthe oryzae</i>in living rice cells Open
Background To cause an economically important blast disease on rice, the filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae forms a specialized infection structure, called an appressorium, to penetrate host cells. Once inside host cells, the fungus pro…

Mitotic stopwatch for the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae during invasion of rice cells Open
To study nuclear dynamics of Magnaporthe oryzae, we developed a novel mitotic reporter strain with GFP-NLS (localized in nuclei during interphase but in the cytoplasm during mitosis) and H1-tdTomato (localized in nuclei throughout the cell…

Live-cell fluorescence imaging to investigate the dynamics of plant cell death during infection by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae Open
We have developed a method to visualize cellular events leading to host cell death during rice blast disease. This method can be used to compare and contrast host cell death associated with disease resistance and susceptibility in rice-M. …
