Abstract excerpt

The phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis exhibits a dimorphic transition in which non-pathogenic, yeast-like cells mate to form a pathogenic, filamentous dikaryon. Northern analysis indicated that two chitin synthase genes, chs1 and chs2, from U. maydis are expressed at similar levels in yeast-...
