Infection structures of the rice blast fungus: The appressorium and transpressorium.
A schematic figure describing the characteristics and developmental biology of appressoria and transpressoria—specialised infection structures formed by Magnaporthe oryzae to penetrate the host cuticle and traverse cell junctions, respectively. MAP, mitogen-activated protein.
