Fig. 6From: Key transcription factors required for outburst of rice blast disease in Magnaporthe oryzaeTranscription factors regulating oxidative response (ROS) or host basal immunity in M. oryzae. a Transcription factors (Ap1, Atf1, MoSwi6, Vea, Velb, and Mbf1) function on ROS, host basal immunity, and fungal development. b A self-balancing circuit that regulates the response to plant ROS by the infectious hyphae of M. oryzae. ROS induce phosphorylation of the kinase Osm1; Osm1 phosphorylates Atf1; Atf1 initiates expression of the protein phosphatase Ptp1/2; and lastly, Ptp1/ 2 dephosphorylates Osm1Back to article page
