Mutations in the myp1 gene of Ustilago maydis attenuate mycelial growth and virulence.

Genetics - 1 Oct 1995

Giasson L, Kronstad J W

Abstract excerpt

Mating between haploid, budding cells of the dimorphic fungus Ustilago maydis results in the formation of a dikaryotic, filamentous cell type. Mating compatibility is governed by two mating-type loci called a and b; transformation of genes from these loci (e.g. a1 and b1) into a haploid strain of...
