Japanese researchers report in the online edition of plant cell magazine that they have found a new way for pathogenic fungi to invade plants, which will contribute to the development of new mold control technologies Previous studies have found that Magnaporthe grisea and anthrax can form hemispherical cells called "appendages" on the surface of plants, and take this as the "entry point" to extend mycelium into plant cells A team led by Yoshio Takano, a professor of plant pathology at Kyoto University, Japan, found that the anthrax can find the location of the wound according to the sugar exuded from the wound on the surface of the plant, without forming an "attachment", and directly penetrate the mycelium into the wound of the plant to invade the plant cells According to Gao ye, the above findings show that mould can choose a more suitable invasion mode according to the state of plants If the specific mechanism can be clarified, it is expected to develop more effective plant disease control technology.
