Cell-Eneity - Dissecting the molecular mechanisms of cellular heterogeneity controlling infection-associated development in plant pathogenic fungi

Rice disease caused by the agricultural fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is responsible for the loss of up to 30% of the global yield of rice. The fungal pathogen generates spores which have different transcriptional profiles. Funded by the European Research Council, the CELL-ENEITY project aims to dissect the mechanisms responsible for the observed cellular heterogeneity of this devastating pathogen. The working hypothesis is that cell cycle regulates the transcription of infection-related genes and determines the developmental pathway of the fungus. Results will provide important insight into the infection process of Madgnaporthe oryzae and contribute to the identification of new targets for treatment.
