Rice Blast Research Reveals Details on How a Fungus Invades PlantsLike a stealthy enemy, blast disease invades rice crops around the world, killing plants and cutting production of one of the most important global food sources. Now, a study by an international team of researchers sheds light on how the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, invades plant tissue. The finding is a step toward learning how to control the disease, which by some estimates destroys enough rice to feed 60 million people annually. – Kansas State University Research and Extension|6/18/2013 5:00 PM EDT
