Programs that predict promoter sequences in-dicated that promoter sequence lies between locations 430 and 857 of the NAR promoter fragment. GFP expression under the NAR promoter and NAR transcript analysis revealed that this promoter is activated primarily at the mycelial stage in the rice blast fungus and could be used to express native or extrinsic genes in the mycelia of the rice blast fungus.展开更多

With the technology of suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH), it was previously found that MGG_06001 (or named MoNEM1), a gene of M. oryzae homologous to the NEM1 (nuclear envelope morphology protein 1) gene of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), is differentially expressed between the mature appressium and the conidium and mycelium. This study aimed to characterize the function of MoNEM1 gene by knocking it out using the method of target gene replacement. The AMoneml mutants exhibited reduced mycelial growth and conidiation. However, disruption of MoNEM1 gene does not affect the pathogenicity of M. oryzae on barley and rice.展开更多

Such a coherent superposition state can also be specially tailored along the propagation path to generate Raman scattering in a relatively short distance with very high efficiency.展开更多
