Similarly, in the fungal rice pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, the LDP1 perilipin was shown to be important for lipid mobilization during appressorial infection, and in the mycoparasitic fungus Clonostachy rosea, a perilipin was identified as highly expressed during infection of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum sclerotia [13,14]. This evidence concerns the gene PLIN1 and infection.
