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...

Identifizierung von Effektoren der Pheromon-MAPK-Kaskade in Ustilago maydis (2004)

Brefort, Thomas

Die sexuelle Entwicklung von Ustilago maydis, dem Erreger des Maisbeulenbrandes, wird durch die Fusion zweier haploider Sporidien eingeleitet. Das aus der Zellfusion hervorgehende Dikaryon ist dann...

The High-Mobility-Group Domain Transcription Factor Rop1 Is a Direct Regulator of prf1 in Ustilago maydis

Brefort, Thomas, Müller, Philip, Kahmann, Regine

In the smut fungus Ustilago maydis, the pheromone signal is transmitted via a mitogen-activated protein kinase module to the high-mobility-group (HMG) domain transcription factor Prf1, leading to its...
