Description
Magnaporthales are microscopic fungi that play significant roles in ecosystems and agriculture. Many species in this group are plant pathogens, causing diseases in important crops like rice and wheat. They have specialized structures called appressoria, which help them penetrate plant tissues. Some magnaporthales can survive in soil for long periods, making them challenging to control. Their study is crucial for developing strategies to protect food security.
