Insights from the genome of the biotrophic fungal plant pathogen Ustilago maydis (2006)

Kahmann, Regine, Bölker, Michael, Ma, Li-Jun, Brefort, Thomas, Saville, Barry J, ...

Ustilago maydis is a ubiquitous pathogen of maize and a well-established model organism for the study of plant-microbe interactions. This basidiomycete fungus does not use aggressive virulence...

Signalling in the Yeasts: An Informational Cascade with Links to the Filamentous Fungi

Banuett, Flora

All cells, from bacteria and yeasts to mammalian cells, respond to cues from their environment. A variety of mechanisms exist for the transduction of these external signals to the interior of the...

Different a alleles of Ustilago maydis are necessary for maintenance of filamentous growth but not for meiosis

Banuett, Flora, Herskowitz, Ira

Two loci (the incompatibility or mating type loci), a and b, govern the life cycle of Ustilago maydis, a fungal pathogen of corn. U. maydis diploids heterozygous at both a and b (a[unk] b[unk]) form...
