Ustilago maydis is a plant pathogenic Basidiomycete fungus that exhibits dimorphism--it has a haploid, yeast-like phase and a dikaryotic, filamentous phase that is pathogenic. Establishment and maintenance of these two forms are controlled by two mating type loci, a and b. The a locus is thought to govern fusion of haploid cells to form a dikaryon and is also required for filamentous growth of the dikaryon. It...
