Egan, John D., García-Pedrajas, María D., Andrews, David L., Gold, Scott E.
Ustilago maydis is a dimorphic basidiomycete and the causal agent of corn smut disease. It serves as a genetic model for understanding dimorphism, pathogenicity, and mating response in filamentous...
Sending mixed signals: Redundancy vs. uniqueness of signaling components (2008)
García-Pedrajas, María D., Nadal, Marina, Michael, Bölker, Gold, Scott E., Perlin, Michael H.
The ability to respond to a changing environment separates successful organisms from their competitors. 24 Thus, signal transduction is a crucial aspect of an organism’s growth, development,...
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...
An ancestral MADS-box gene duplication occurred before the divergence of plants and animals
Alvarez-Buylla, Elena R., Pelaz, Soraya, Liljegren, Sarah J., Gold, Scott E., Burgeff, Caroline, Ditta, Gary S., ...
Changes in genes encoding transcriptional regulators can alter development and are important components of the molecular mechanisms of morphological evolution. MADS-box genes encode transcriptional...
An ste20 Homologue in Ustilago maydis Plays a Role in Mating and Pathogenicity
Smith, David G., Garcia-Pedrajas, Maria D., Hong, Wei, Yu, Zhanyang, Gold, Scott E., Perlin, Michael H.
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways are conserved from fungi to humans and have been shown to play important roles in mating and filamentous growth for both Saccharomyces cerevisiae...
