A p21-Activated Kinase Is Required for Conidial Germination in Penicillium marneffei (2007)

Kylie J. Boyce, Alex Andrianopoulos

Asexual spores (conidia) are the infectious propagules of many pathogenic fungi, and the capacity to sense the host environment and trigger conidial germination is a key pathogenicity determinant....

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...

The Control of polarity in penicillium marneffei (2003)

Boyce, Kylie J.

Typescript (photocopy) Includes bibliographical references (leaves 225-242)

The CDC42 Homolog of the Dimorphic Fungus Penicillium marneffei Is Required for Correct Cell Polarization during Growth but Not Development

Boyce, Kylie J., Hynes, Michael J., Andrianopoulos, Alex

The opportunistic human pathogenic fungus Penicillium marneffei is dimorphic and is thereby capable of growth either as filamentous multinucleate hyphae or as uninucleate yeast cells which divide by...

Serial Analysis of Gene Expression Reveals Conserved Links between Protein Kinase A, Ribosome Biogenesis, and Phosphate Metabolism in Ustilago maydis

Larraya, Luis M., Boyce, Kylie J., So, Austin, Steen, Barbara R., Jones, Steven, Marra, Marco, ...

The switch from budding to filamentous growth is a key aspect of invasive growth and virulence for the fungal phytopathogen Ustilago maydis. The cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathway regulates...

An Ustilago maydis Septin Is Required for Filamentous Growth in Culture and for Full Symptom Development on Maize

Boyce, Kylie J., Chang, Howard, D'Souza, Cletus A., Kronstad, James W.

During maize infection, the fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis undergoes a dimorphic transition from budding, yeast-like cells to a filamentous dikaryon that proliferates in the host. This transition is...

The vtc4 Gene Influences Polyphosphate Storage, Morphogenesis, and Virulence in the Maize Pathogen Ustilago maydis

Boyce, Kylie J., Kretschmer, Matthias, Kronstad, James W.

The maize pathogen Ustilago maydis switches from budding to filamentous, dikaryotic growth in response to environmental signals including nutrient status, growth in the host, and the presence of...
