    Abstract Rice blast is a highly destructive crop disease that requires the interplay of three essential factors: the virulent blast fungus, the susceptible rice plant, and favorable environmental conditions. Although previous studies have focused mainly on the pathogen and rice, recent research has shed light on the molecular mechanisms by which the blast fungus and environmental conditions regulate host resistance and contribute to blast disease outbreaks. This review summarizes significant achievements in understanding the sophisticated modulation of blast resistance by Magnaporthe oryzae effectors and the dual regulatory mechanisms by which environmental conditions influence rice resistance and virulence of the blast fungus. Furthermore, it emphasizes potential strategies for developing blast-resistant rice varieties to effectively control blast disease.

    Abstract Application of disease-resistant varieties is the most effective and environmentally friendly way to control crop diseases. However, there is often a trade-off between disease resistance and yield. Several recent studies have demonstrated that genome-editing technology brings a new strategy for generating disease-resistant crops without yield penalties.

    Abstract The causal agent of blast disease, the filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, leads to tremendous damage on rice production worldwide. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have multi-functions in plant growth and antimicrobial activity. However, the effects of ZnO NPs on M. oryzae and disease resistance in rice are still unclear. Here, we showed that ZnO NPs have direct antifungal activity against M. oryzae by inhibiting its conidiation and appressorium formation. In addition, ZnO NPs significantly inhibit blast development and enhance basal resistance in rice by inducing ROS accumulation and expression of defense-related genes OsNAC4, OsPR10, OsKSL4, and OsPR1b. Furthermore, we showed that ZnO NPs treatment reduces ABA level in plant, leading to increased ROS accumulation and enhanced resistance against M. oryzae. Importantly, ZnO NPs treatment improves the tolerance of rice seedlings to osmotic and heat stresses.In conclusion, not only being an effective aid in fighting against blast disease, ZnO NPs also provides a novel strategy to enhance the tolerance of rice seedlings to abiotic stress.

    Abstract Mitophagy is a selective autophagy for the degradation of damaged or excessive mitochondria to maintain intracellular homeostasis. In Magnaporthe oryzae, a filamentous ascomycetous fungus that causes rice blast, the most devastating disease of rice, mitophagy occurs in the invasive hyphae to promote infection. To date, only a few proteins are known to participate in mitophagy and the mechanisms of mitophagy are largely unknown in pathogenic fungi. Here, by a yeast two-hybrid screen with the core autophagy-related protein MoAtg8 as a bait, we obtained a MoAtg8 interactor MoAti1 (MoAtg8-interacting protein 1). Fluorescent observations and protease digestion analyses revealed that MoAti1 is primarily localized to the peripheral mitochondrial outer membrane and is responsible for recruiting MoAtg8 to mitochondria under mitophagy induction conditions. MoAti1 is specifically required for mitophagy, but not for macroautophagy and pexophagy. Infection assays suggested that MoAti1 is required for mitophagy in invasive hyphae during pathogenesis. Notably, no homologues of MoAti1 were found in rice and human protein databases, indicating that MoAti1 may be used as a potential target to control rice blast. By the host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) strategy, transgenic rice plants targeted to silencing MoATI1 showed enhanced resistance against M. oryzae with unchanged agronomic traits. Our results suggest that MoATI1 is required for mitophagy and pathogenicity in M. oryzae and can be used as a target for reducing rice blast.

    Abstract Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases of rice. During infection, M. oryzae secretes effectors to facilitate blast development. Among these effectors, the avirulence factor AvrPi9 is recognized by Pi9, a broad-spectrum blast resistance protein that triggers Pi9-mediated resistance in rice. However, little is known about the interaction between AvrPi9 and Pi9 and how AvrPi9 exerts virulence to promote infection. In this study, we found that ectopic expression of AvrPi9 in the Pi9-lacking cultivar TP309 suppressed basal resistance against M. oryzae. Furthermore, we identified an AvrPi9-interacting protein in rice, which we named OsRGLG5, encoding a functional RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase. During infection, AvrPi9 was ubiquitinated and degraded by OsRGLG5. Meanwhile, AvrPi9 affected the stability of OsRGLG5. Infection assays revealed that OsRGLG5 is a positive regulator of basal resistance against M. oryzae, but it is not essential for Pi9-mediated blast resistance in rice. In conclusion, our results revealed that OsRGLG5 is targeted by the M. oryzae effector AvrPi9 and positively regulates basal resistance against rice blast.
