Pathogenic fungus exploits the lateral root regulators to induce pluripotency in maize shoots

2025-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Biotrophic plant pathogens secrete effector molecules to redirect and exploit endogenous signaling and developmental pathways in their favor. The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis causes galls on all aerial parts of maize. However, identification and characterization of the responsible gall-inducing effectors and corresponding plant signaling pathway(s) are largely elusive. Here we reveal molecular components act...
