Nitric oxide: a chemical effector of pathogenesis in magnaporthe oryzae

Abstract:

Research detailed in this thesis investigated the generation of Nitric Oxide (NO) and its role in the pathogenesis of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. Two putative nitric oxide synthase genes and single copy nitrate and nitrite reductase genes were cloned as potential sources of NO in M. oryzae. Single and double gene disrupted mutants were generated and their phenotypes assessed.

Detection of NO is problematic. Herein, a fluorescent plate reader assay was develope...
