ABCA3 and infection: Specifically, M. oryzae ABC1 (Urban, 1999) and ABC4 (Gupta and Chattoo, 2008) are crucial for pathogenicity, aiding the fungus in navigating the cytotoxic environment during infection, whereas ABC2 (Lee et al., 2005) and ABC3 contribute to multidrug resistance, with ABC3 playing a specific role in overcoming cytotoxicity and oxidative stress within appressoria during early infection-related morphogenesis (Sun et al., 2007).
