Abstract: | Pyricularia oryzae isolates from Lolium spp. (annual ryegrass and perennial ryegrass) show evidence of recent events in evolution of this fungus. A wheat blast isolate found in Kentucky in 2011 was assumed to originate from annual ryegrass isolates. Genetic analyses revealed that the incompatibility between a Lolium isolate and common wheat cultivars is controlled by two gene pairs, Rmg6–A1 with a strong effect and R2-A2 with a weak effect, implying that this incompatibility is conditioned by simple gene-for-gene interactions. Disruption of the A1 avirulence gene led the Lolium isolate to gain virulence on common wheat. These results suggest a mechanism for host jumping by the blast fungus. |
