Development of a high-throughput system for the functional analysis of virulence effector proteins of Magnaporthe grisea

At present, additional M. oryzae effectors are tested for translocation in the in vitro system and motifs necessary and sufficient for translocation of M. oryzae effectors are searched. In addition, complementary experiments aiming to confirm translocation of candidate effectors by independent approaches, in particular life cell imaging, are under way.
