Abstract:Magnaporthe oryzae is placed first on a list of the world's top ten plant pathogens with the highest scientific and economic importance. The pathogen is highly evolved to sense environmental changes quickly to invade different tissues of its host plant successfully. Here, we found alternative splicing (AS) as a previously unknown mechanism of how the pathogen may handle rapidly changing situations during in planta growth. The AS facilitates the production of multiple mRNAs and, consequently, protein isoforms w… Show more
