Fungal derived cytokinins are necessary for normal Ustilago maydis infection of maize

2017-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Phytohormones derived from fungi play a key role in regulating plant–pathogen interactions; however, deciphering the separate contributions of pathogen and plant during infection has been difficult. Here, the Ustilago maydis–Zea mays pathosystem was used to investigate this chemical exchange. Ustilago maydis, the causative agent of maize smut, produces cytokinins (CK), which are a group of phytohormones responsibl...
