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...

Evidence that a 1.6 kilobase region of Neurospora mtDNA was derived by insertion of part of the LaBelle mitochondrial plasmid (1992)

Nargang, Frank E., Pande, Suchira, Kennell, John C., Akins, Robert A., Lambowitz, Alan M.

The LaBelle mitochondrial plasmid hybridizes to a small region of the mtDNA of different Neurospora species. Here, we show that the region of homology encompasses 1385 bp of plasmid sequence and 1649...

Relaxed Primer Specificity Associated with Reverse Transcriptases Encoded by the pFOXC Retroplasmids of Fusarium oxysporum

Simpson, E. Barry, Ross, Shannon L., Marchetti, Sarah E., Kennell, John C.

The pFOXC mitochondrial retroplasmids are small, autonomously replicating linear DNAs that have a telomere-like repeat of a 5-bp sequence at their termini. The plasmids are possible evolutionary...

The Genome of Nectria haematococca: Contribution of Supernumerary Chromosomes to Gene Expansion

Coleman, Jeffrey J., Rounsley, Steve D., Rodriguez-Carres, Marianela, Kuo, Alan, Wasmann, Catherine C., Grimwood, Jane, ...

The ascomycetous fungus Nectria haematococca, (asexual name Fusarium solani), is a member of a group of >50 species known as the “Fusarium solani species complex”. Members of this complex have...
