Regulates Fungal Development and Virulence in .

causes rice blast disease, which threatens global rice production. The interaction between and rice is regarded as a classic model for studying the relationship between the pathogen and the host. In this study, we found a gene, , regulating fungal development and virulence in .

, a Cytochrome P450 Gene, Is Required for Alleviating Manganese Toxin Revealed by Transcriptomics Analysis in .

Manganese, as an essential trace element, participates in many physiological reactions by regulating Mn associated enzymes. is a serious pathogen and causes destructive losses for rice production. We identified a cytochrome P450 gene, , involving the alleviation of manganese toxin and pathogenicity.
