Rice blast disease, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe
grisea, is a leading constraint to rice production and is a serious
threat to food security worldwide. In order to advance research of
this pathogen and its interactions with rice, the MGOS database
has been funded by NSF-MGS #0627159 titled
Community Annotation Database for Magnaporthe grisea. This award will
support community annotation, microarray submission,
add new data when possible, and enhance queries.

A grant was funded
NSF-PGRP #0115642 titled
Whole genome analysis of pathogen-host recognition and
subsequent response in the rice blast patho-system
to elucidate the basis of plant resistance through a comprehensive
analysis of the molecular events that occur during pathogen-host
recognition and the subsequent defense responses. The MGOS database was
created as a web-based repository for the data generated by this grant (Soderlund et al. 2006).

The data in MGOS generated by this grant is:
|
| EST
| Eight rice cDNA libraries
were constructed and end-sequenced from different varieties (differing in
susceptibility to the disease) and different stages of infection
(Jantasuriyarat et al. 2005)
|
| RL-Sage
| Five robust long–serial analysis
gene expression (RL-SAGE)(Gowda et al. 2004) libraries were
host-pathogen. constructed and sequenced, four from different stages of rice infection and one from M. grisea (Gowda et al. 2006, 2007).
|
| Microarray
|
A dual O. sativa-M. grisea microarray was constructed that contains all predicted M. grisea genes and a subset of rice genes that are thought to be involved
in resistance. This microarray is available for purchase by the
community from Agilent Technologies (Palo Alto, CA, U.S.A.), and all relevant information about the probes is in the MGOS database.
|
| Mutants
|
A high-throughput approach to creating M. grisea mutants was developed, resulting
in over 50,000 lines that have been screened for phenotypes and
for changes in pathogenicity when applied to susceptible rice
varieties (Donofrio et al. 2005).
|
| Secreted proteins
|
Secreted proteins were identified from the M. grisea
genomic sequence, as these proteins are often active during
host-pathogen interaction.
|
| |
Additional data in MGOS:
|
| EST
| Nine M. grisea cDNA libraries
constructed and end-sequenced from different stages of infection, tissue type, and
cultured on different medium (Ebbole et al. 2005).
|
| M. grisea sequenced genome
| The M. grisea genome sequence from
Broad (Dean et al. 2005).
|
| Rice sequenced genome
| The rice genome sequence from TIGR that
was sequenced by the IRGSP.
