Maize tumors caused by Ustilago maydis require organ-specific genes in host and pathogen.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 2 Apr 2010

Skibbe David S, Doehlemann Gunther, Fernandes John, Walbot Virginia

Abstract excerpt

Infection of maize by corn smut (Ustilago maydis) provides an agronomically important model of biotrophic host-pathogen interactions. After penetration of the maize epidermis, fungal colonization of host tissue induces tumor formation on all aerial maize organs. We hypothesized that transformation of different primordia into plant tumors would require organ-specific gene expression by both host and pathogen and...
