description Rice blast is a very serious disease caused by <i>Magnaporthe oryzae</i>, which threatens rice production and food supply throughout the world. The avirulence (<i>AVR</i>) genes of rice blast are perceived by the corresponding rice blast resistance (<i>R</i>) genes and prompt specific resistance. A mutation in <i>AVR</i> is a major force for new virulence. Exploring mutations in <i>AVR</i> among <i>M. oryzae</i> isolates from rice production fields could aid assessment of the efficacy and durability of <i>R</i> genes. We studied the probable molecular-evolutionary patterns of <i>AVR-Pib</i> alleles by assaying their DNA-sequence diversification and examining their avirulence to the corresponding <i>Pib</i> resistance gene under natural conditions in the extremely genetically diverse of rice resources of Yunnan, China. PCRs detected results from <i>M. oryzae</i> genomic DNA and revealed that 162 out of 366 isolates collected from Yunnan Province contained <i>AVR-Pib</i> alleles. Among them, 36.1–73.3% isolates from six different rice production areas of Yunnan contained <i>AVR-Pib</i> alleles. Furthermore, 36 (28.6%) out of 126 isolates had a transposable element (TE) insertion in <i>AVR-Pib</i>, which resulted in altered virulence. The TE insertion was identified in isolates from rice rather than from <i>Musa nana</i> Lour. Twelve <i>AVR-Pib</i> haplotypes encoding three novel <i>AVR-Pib</i> variants were identified among the remaining 90 isolates. <i>AVR-Pib</i> alleles evolved to virulent forms from avirulent forms by base substitution and TE insertion of Pot2 and Pot3 in the 5′ untranslated region of <i>AVR-Pib</i>. These findings support the hypothesis that functional <i>AVR-Pib</i> possesses varied sequence structures and can escape surveillance by hosts via multiple variation manners.
