The model of host surface signal recognition, integration, and intracellular transduction of M. oryzae. M. oryzae senses host physical cues, such as surface hardness and hydrophobicity by transmembrane receptor proteins, including Pth11, MoSho1, and MoRgs1. Upon sensing physical cues, receptor proteins are internalized by endocytosis-related proteins MoCrnl and MoEnd3 to activate the downstream cAMP-PKA signaling pathway and MAPK pathway, and ultimately, host physical cues are transduced to intracellular signals to activate the transcription of TFs that regulate functional appressorium formation
