Eight RGS and RGS-like Proteins Orchestrate Growth, Differentiation, and Pathogenicity of Magnaporthe oryzae

MoRgs4 has a role in the regulation of extracellular laccase activities.
(A) Laccase activity was tested on CM agar medium containing 0.2 mM ABTS at final concentration. Discoloration was observed on day 2 after inoculation. (B) Laccase activity measured by ABTS oxidizing test (see Materials and Methods). (C) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of two laccase genes in wild type and mutants. Expression data were normalized using the ACTIN gene. Error bars represent standard deviation. Different letters in each data column indicate significant differences at P = 0.01.
