Proteomic analysis of dimorphic transition in the phytopathogenic fungus <b><i>Ustilago maydis</i></b>

Abstract excerpt

In the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis, the dimorphic transition from budding to filamentous growth is intrinsically associated with the switch from a saprophytic to a pathogenic lifestyle. Both pathogenicity and filament formation are triggered by a heterodimeric homeodomain transcription factor encoded by the b mating type locus. Here, we present a reference map of the proteome of this dimorphic...
