Molecular mechanisms of Ustilaginoidea virens pathogenicity and their utilization in disease control

Rice false smut, caused by Ustilaginoidea virens , is one of the most important diseases in rice. The disease not only causes significant yield losses in China and worldwide but also produces multiple types of mycotoxins that pose a serious threat to the health of humans and animals. To effectively...

Description
Summary:Rice false smut, caused by Ustilaginoidea virens , is one of the most important diseases in rice. The disease not only causes significant yield losses in China and worldwide but also produces multiple types of mycotoxins that pose a serious threat to the health of humans and animals. To effectively prevent and control the disease, the pathogenicity mechanisms of U. virens have been studied preliminarily, and some control strategies have been developed. This review focuses on recent progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms of U. virens pathogenicity, including virulence-related genes, transcriptional regulation of virulence genes, and effector-mediated interactions between rice and U. virens . Based on the molecular mechanisms underlying the rice- U. virens interactions, the possibilities of the pathogenicity genes in U. virens and host immune-related genes as potential targets for biological agents, host-induced gene silencing, and molecular design breeding are also discussed.
