Abstract: Rice false smut has been an important disease throughout the world, and there are still many puzzles remained in the infection mechanism of the pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens. Here the progress in recent years on the pathogen infection, and problems were reviewed and the perspectives of the research were outlined. It is found that the pathogen could invade rice coleoptiles and roots at the young seedling stage and the filaments of stamen at the earlier booting stage. The pathogen does not form typical appressorial structure, and the hyphae invade and extend intercellularly. The fungal hyphae do not penetrate through the host cell wall. It is not clear if the pathogen colonized in the young seedlings can extend to the spikelets and form the ball-like symptom. At rice booting stage, the pathogen attacks exclusively rice filaments and the secondary hyphae can infect the outer layers of cells on lodicules and stigmas occasionally. The pathogen can not infect the ovary and anthers. The pathogen does not kill the host cell during its development, typical of a biotrophic parasite. Future researches may be focused on the infection progression of young seedlings and on the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of the organ-selected invasion.

Key words: Oryza sativa , Ustilaginoidea virens , infection mechanism , filament
