Abstract excerpt
We describe a versatile strategy for generating gene replacement mutants in the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis. The system includes the choice of 32 different insertion cassettes for genetic engineering purposes, such as gene disruption and more sophisticated insertions of reporter genes, heterologous promoters or combinations of the two. PCR-amplified flanking sequences needed for homologous...
