Talk:Magnaporthe grisea

message: This page was delibrately named Magnaporthe grisea since it causes more that just rice blast. There is concensus amongst Wikiproject:Tree of Life that the bionomial should be used where the common name is unclear or of restricted geographic use.

message: It has 11,109 genes, right?
:This could only possibly be a predicted number of genes, based on what "looks like" a gene in the genome sequence.  Some could be non-functional pseudogenes, and some real genes may not have been predicted.  So it might be best to leave an approximate figure in the article. Adrian J.

message: This is a nice article.  I know nothing about the subject so the most I can contribute is a list of questions I had hoped the article would answer but it did not:
* Why is it called blast?
* Are there other things called blast fungus or blast disease?
* In particular, should there be a more general article called blast fungus or blast disease?
Also, the repeated bolding and lack of links in the taxobox seems to imply that this species is the only member of its class.  Surely this can't be?
Hope this is helpful — Pekinensis 22:48, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't find anything definate, but I'd guess that they're called blast diseases since they cause total yellowing, pathogens that cause spots are normally spot or mosaic patterns on foliage are usually caused spot or mosaic diseases. It is a confusing aspect of phytopathology but the same organism can be named as a different disasese depending on the host Magnaporthe grisea on wheat is called rice blast and on wheat it is called wheat blast, even though the symptoms are the same, I'll change the article to say that. The pages you suggest would be good redirects to here, since this fungus causes all the blast diseases. The lack of links in the taxobox is since wikipedia is pretty slack on fungal taxomony an I find a taxobox full of red links pretty ugly, but I've made them wikilinks--nixie 07:49, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't it have it's own page? Or if not, some explanation of why "wheat blast" redirects here is in order...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.29.176 (talk) 06:50, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
