Abstract
Although plant diseases are characterised by the part of the plant that is affected, surprisingly little is known about the genes that condition the ability of pathogens to colonise different plant tissues. Recently we have shown that the foliar pathogen Magnaporthe grisea (which causes blast disease on leaves of cereals and grasses) can infect cereal roots and cause lesion formation. Here we propose to characterise the genetic components required for infection, proliferation and disease development of M. grisea in distinct plant tissues.
