Abstract excerpt
Ustilaginoidea virens is an economically important fungus causing a devastating grain disease, rice false smut. An insertional mutagenesis screen was used to explore biological mechanisms underlying infection process of U. virens. T184, a new mutant was identified, with abnormal conidial morphology and deficient virulence. Analysis of the T-DNA inserted gene UvPal1 in the mutant confirmed it as a putative...
