Abstract excerpt

Pathogenicity of the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis involves the formation of a filamentous, infectious dikaryon by fusion of compatible, yeastlike haploid cells. The mating-type loci, a and b, regulate cell fusion and establishment of the dikaryotic cell type, respectively. On solid medium, co...
