The segregation of avirulence/virulence was studied in 115 F progeny isolates of Magnaporthe oryzae from a cross of two field isolates on three Japanese race-differential rice cultivars Kanto 51, Fukunishiki, and Toride 1. The χ tests of goodness-of-fit for a 1:1 ratio indicated that avirulence on cvs. Kanto 51, Fukunishiki, and Toride 1 was under monogenic control. The relationship between the avirulence (Avr) gene in the parental isolate and the Avr gene in the standard isolate was investigated by using 100 lines each of three F families from the crosses of the rice cultivars Norin 3/Kanto 51, AK61/Fukunishiki, and Norin 3/Toride 1, respectively. Based on the resistant reactions of the F rice lines to the parental isolates and the standard isolates harboring three known Avr genes, three genetically independent Avr genes, AvrPik, AvrPiz, and AvrPiz-t, were identified. The three identified Avr genes were mapped using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis, and a partial linkage map was constructed with 17 RAPD markers closely linked to the Avr genes. Twelve markers and AvrPik, three markers and AvrPiz, and two markers and AvrPiz-t, as well as mating locus MAT1, constructed linkage groups A, B, and C, respectively.

Major resistance (R) gene mediated resistance to rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is often overcome by the fungus due to the occurrences of new races with altered corresponding avirulence (AVR) genes. In this study, blast diseased rice tissue samples were collected from breeding stations and commercial rice fields in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Puerto Rico during 2017-2019 to determine the efficacy of major R genes, Pi-ta, Pik, Pizt, Pi9, and Pi33. A total of 185 blast isolates were isolated from the diseased tissue samples to examine the existence of AVR genes AVR-Pita1, AVR-Pib, AVR-Pik, AVR-Pizt, AVR-Pi9 and ACE1.

Barnyard grass is one of the most serious rice weeds, often growing near paddy fields and therefore potentially serving as a bridging host for the rice blast fungus. In this study, we isolated three fungal strains from diseased barnyard grass leaves in a rice field. Using a pathogenicity assay, we confirmed that they were capable of causing blast symptoms on barnyard grass and rice leaves to various extents.

The avirulence (AVR) genes of Magnaporthe oryzae are pivotal in eliciting resistance responses in rice, which are mediated by resistance (R) genes in rice. Monitoring the variation of AVR genes in the pathogen is essential for strategically deploying R genes in rice cultivation regions. In this study, a total of 214 isolates were collected from Jiangxi Province, China, in 2022, and the distribution and variation of AVR genes in these isolates were analyzed by PCR amplification and sequencing.
