As a typical oomycete, the primary infective propagule of P. infestans is the sporangium, which can either germinate directly or release biflagellate zoospores that encyst and germinate on the host subsequently （Grenville-Briggs et al., 2005）. Due to abundant formation of the sporangia and prolific sporulation, P. infestans can spread quickly in the host tissues and cause extensive necrosis of the infected plants （Kamoun and Smart, 2005）.展开更多

In the current study, we isolated a CYP72A gene cluster consisting of 7 P450 CYP72A genes (CYP72A17-23) with the conserved cDNA sequence through the public rice genome data. There are total 14 putative CYP72A members in the rice genome, with high diversity at N-terminal sequences while high homology at C-terminal sequences of those 14 putative proteins. We analyzed expression profiles of the cloned 7 CYP72A genes during pathogen infection and development. The results showed that expression of CYP72A18, 19, 22 and 23 was differentially regulated in the incompatible and compatible interactions between rice and blast fungus. Except CYP72A20, a pseudogene, other 6 CYP72A genes also exhibited temporal and spatial expression patterns, respectively.These findings provide fundamental data for rice P450 gene function analysis.展开更多
