Transcriptome analysis in the maize- <i>Ustilago maydis</i> interaction identifies maize-line-specific activity of fungal effectors
2020-10-30
Abstract excerpt
The biotrophic pathogen Ustilago maydis causes smut disease on maize ( Zea mays ) and induces the formation of tumours on all aerial parts of the plant. Unlike in other biotrophic interactions, no gene-for-gene interactions have been identified in the maize- U. maydis pathosystem. Thus, maize resistance to U. maydis is considered a polygenic, quantitative trait. Here, we study the molecular mechanisms of quant...
