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...

Transkriptom-Analyse der frühen Infektionsphase von Ustilago maydis: Identifikation neuer pathogenitätsrelevanter Gene (2006)

Vranes, Miroslav

Im phytopathogenen Pilz Ustilago maydis ist die Fusion kompatibler haploider Sporidien für die Initiation der pathogenen Entwicklung notwendig. Kontrolliert wird dieser Prozess durch zwei...

Biz1, a Zinc Finger Protein Required for Plant Invasion by Ustilago maydis, Regulates the Levels of a Mitotic Cyclin[W]

Flor-Parra, Ignacio, Vranes, Miroslav, Kämper, Jörg, Pérez-Martín, José

Plant invasion by pathogenic fungi involves regulated growth and highly organized fungal morphological changes. For instance, when the smut fungus Ustilago maydis infects maize (Zea mays), its...
