The molecular biology of appressorium turgor generation by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea.

The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea develops specialized infection structures known as appressoria, which develop enormous turgor pressure to bring about plant infection. Turgor is generated by accumulation of compatible solutes, including glycerol, which is synthesized in large quantities in the appressorium. Glycogen, trehalose and lipids represent the most abundant storage products in M. grisea conidia. Trehalose and glycogen are rapidly degraded during conidial germination and it is known that trehalose synthesis is required for virulence of the fungus. Lipid bodies are transported to the developing appressoria and degraded at the onset of turgor generation, in a process that is cAMP-dependent. A combined biochemical and genetic approach is being used to dissect the process of turgor generation in the rice blast fungus.

Identification of hibernating myocardium by acoustic microscopy.

Hibernating myocardium is viable myocardium that recovers after revascularization. The observation of loss of contractile proteins (myofibrils) and accumulation of glycogen in hibernating cardiomyocytes provide the basis for diagnosing hibernating myocardium. In this pilot study, acoustic microscopy was used to identify the cellular structure of normal vs. hibernating myocardium. Sections cut at 5-microm of archival paraffin blocks on glass slides were used for this study. Acoustic microscopy of normal cardiomyocytes showed intracellular linear echoes suggestive of myofibrils, and cardiomyocytes of hibernating myocardium revealed absence of myofibrils and dense intracellular echoes that corresponded to glycogen accumulation on optical microscopy. This modality of visualization allows a definitive diagnosis of hibernating myocardium.
