Pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis exploits the lateral root regulators to induce pluripotency in maize shoots.

Abstract excerpt

Biotrophic plant-pathogens secrete effector molecules to redirect and exploit endogenous signaling and developmental pathways in their favor. The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis causes galls on all aerial parts of maize. However, the responsible gall-inducing effectors and corresponding plant signaling pathway(s) remain largely unknown. Using molecular and genetic approaches, and transcriptomic comparisons in...
