A recombinant hybrid provides insights into gene regulation, pathogenesis and tumorigenesis of phytopathogenic smut fungi

2025-01-28

Abstract excerpt

The maize smut fungi Ustilago maydis and Sporisorium reilianum are closely related and have similar genomes in terms of size and synteny. While U. maydis induces tumors locally at sites of infection, S. reilianum systemically colonizes the host and causes symptoms in the inflorescences. To investigate the genetic basis of these differences, an interspecific recombinant hybrid (rUSH) with the mating type system...
