Identification of genes governing filamentous growth and tumor induction by the plant pathogen Ustilago maydis.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 May 1991

Banuett F

Abstract excerpt

Two master regulatory loci, a and b, govern life-cycle transitions of the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis. Fusion of haploids that differ at both a and b results in production of a filamentous dikaryon, which induces tumors in its host, maize. Here I describe identification of genes distinct from a and b that play roles in these life-cycle transitions. These studies identify three genes, fuz1, fuz2, and...
