Heterozygosity at the b mating-type locus attenuates fusion in Ustilago maydis.

Current genetics - 1 Apr 1995

Laity C, Giasson L, Campbell R, Kronstad J

Abstract excerpt

Mating and pathogenesis of the corn smut fungus, Ustilago maydis, are controlled by two unlinked mating-type loci, a and b. Yeast-like haploids that differ at both loci are compatible and fuse to establish a pathogenic dikaryon. Mating is assayed in vitro by co-inoculation on culture medium containing activated charcoal; compatible combinations have a characteristic "fuzzy" appearance caused by the growth of...
