Description
Summary:Dear Editor ： The sustainable cultivation of rice, which serves as staple food crop for more than half of the world＇s population, is under serious threat due to the huge yield losses inflicted by rice blast disease caused by the globally destructive fungus Magnaporthe oryzae （Pyricularia oryzae） （Dean et al., 2012; Nalley et al., 2016; Deng et al., 2017）. This filamentous ascomycete fungus is also capable of causing blast infection on other economically important cereal crops, including wheat, millet, and barley, making it the world＇s most important plant pathogenic fungus （Zhong et al., 2016）.
