Abstract:
PURPOSE: A Magnaporthe oryzae deletion mutant in which MoLHS1 gene is deleted is provided to reduce pathogenicity and to develop novel agricultural chemical. CONSTITUTION: A Magnaporthe oryzae deletion mutant with reduced pathogenicity to blast is MoLHS1-deleted gene. The MoLHS1 gene comprises a base sequence of sequence number 1. A composition for reducing pathogenicity to blast contains MoLHS1 gene mutant. A recombinant vector contains the MoLHS1 gene mutant. A transformed Agrobacterium tumefaciens or Magnaporthe oryzae is obtained by transforming with the recombinant vector.
