Roles of Peroxisomes in the Rice Blast Fungus

الملخص EN

The rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, is a model plant pathogenic fungus and is a severe threat to global rice production.

Over the past two decades, it has been found that the peroxisomes play indispensable roles during M.

oryzae infection.

Given the importance of the peroxisomes for virulence, we review recent advances of the peroxisomes roles during M.

oryzae infection processes.

We firstly introduce the molecular mechanisms and life cycles of the peroxisomes.

And then, metabolic functions related to the peroxisomes are also discussed.

Finally, we provide an overview of the relationship between peroxisomes and pathogenicity.
