Rice blast disease is a major threat to global food security. Successful plant infection by the blast fungus requires a battery of effector proteins to suppress plant immune responses, enabling the rapid invasion of plant tissue. How the blast fungus regulates expression of effector-encoding genes during plant infection is not known. We selected mutants that misregulated effector expression and identified a new regulator, Rgs1, previously implicated in control of appressorium development. Rgs1 represses effector gene transcription prior to the fungus infecting plant cells and derepresses their expression once invasive growth begins. The blast fungus therefore coordinates gene expression in a sophisticated and dynamic way to ensure that effectors are deployed at specific developmental stages during pathogenesis. To cause rice blast disease, the filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae secretes a battery of effector proteins into host plant tissue to facilitate infection. Effector-encoding genes are expressed only during plant infection and show very low expression during other developmental stages. How effector gene expression is regulated in such a precise manner during invasive growth by M. oryzae is not known. Here, we report a forward-genetic screen to identify regulators of effector gene expression, based on the selection of mutants that show constitutive effector gene expression. Using this simple screen, we identify Rgs1, a regulator of G-protein signaling (RGS) protein that is necessary for appressorium development, as a novel transcriptional regulator of effector gene expression, which acts prior to plant infection. We show that an N-terminal domain of Rgs1, possessing transactivation activity, is required for effector gene regulation and acts in an RGS-independent manner. Rgs1 controls the expression of at least 60 temporally coregulated effector genes, preventing their transcription during the prepenetration stage of development prior to plant infection. A regulator of appressorium morphogenesis is therefore also required for the orchestration of pathogen gene expression required for invasive growth by M. oryzae during plant infection.
