The Rice Blast Fungus, Magnaporthe grisea

  • Chapter
Plant Relationships Part B

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 5B))

Abstract

Magnaporthe grisea (Hebert) Barr (Barr 1977; Yaegashi and Udagawa 1978) is a filamentous, heterothallic Ascomycotina that collectively causes disease on many species of the grass (Poaceae) family. M. grisea is the teleomorph corresponding to the previously distinct anamorphs Pyricularia oryzae, infecting rice (Oryza sativa), and P. grisea, infecting other grasses. However, P. oryzae and P. grisea have now been synonymized, with the earlier name, P. grisea, having priority (Rossman et al. 1990), because strains with diverse host specificities are interfertile and morphologically indistinguishable. Although the collective host range of M. grisea is broad, individual strains infect a limited number of grass species (Ou 1985; Borromeo et al. 1993; Urashima et al. 1993). A comprehensive description of the economically important rice blast disease has recently been published (Zeigler et al. 1994).
