Riassunto: The main objectives of PMOVN are
- identifying the roles of PMOs and related enzymes during M. oryzae pathogenesis;
- developing new methods to control rice blast disease by exploiting natural molecules or inhibitor proteins effective against the fungal enzymes involved in virulence;
- analysing the enzymatic activities of M. oryzae PMOs and related enzymes on polysaccharides and lignin to develop new enzyme mixtures for rice straw degradation and biofuel production.
