Rgs1 is a regulator of effector gene expression during plant infection by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

Bozeng Tang, Yan Xia, Lauren S. Ryder, Mark Jave Bautista, Neftaly Cruz Mireles, Darren M. Soanes, Camilla Molinari, Andrew J. Foster, Nicholas J. Talbot

The paper identifies Rgs1 as a regulator of effector gene expression in the rice blast fungus M. oryzae, showing it controls at least 60 effector genes before plant infection.
