ras2 Controls morphogenesis, pheromone response, and pathogenicity in the fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis.
Ustilago maydis, a pathogen of maize, is a useful model for the analysis of mating, pathogenicity, and the morphological transition between budding and filamentous growth in fungi. As in other fungi, these processes are regulated by conserved signaling mechanisms, including the cyclic AMP (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA) pathway and at least one mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) pathwa...
متن کاملUstilago maydis as a Pathogen.
The Ustilago maydis-maize pathosystem has emerged as the current model for plant pathogenic basidiomycetes and as one of the few models for a true biotrophic interaction that persists throughout fungal development inside the host plant. This is based on the highly advanced genetic system for both the pathogen and its host, the ability to propagate U. maydis in axenic culture, and its unique cap...
متن کاملThe relationship between the antioxidant system and the virulence in Ustilago maydis, a fungal pathogen
Fungal cells deal with a wide variety of toxic environmental conditions during their life cycle. An important example of stress challenge to which fungi must cope is the high levels of ROS produced by the host during the oxidative burst. Ustilago maydis (D.C.) Corda is an important model system for plant pathogen smut and rust fungi. Genome wide analyses of this pathogen provide an insight into...
متن کاملMicrotubules in the fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis are highly dynamic and determine cell polarity.
Many fungal pathogens undergo a yeast-hyphal transition during their pathogenic development that requires rearrangement of the cytoskeleton, followed by directed membrane traffic towards the growth region. The role of microtubules and their dynamic behavior during this process is not well understood. Here we set out to elucidate the organization, cellular role and in vivo dynamics of microtubul...
متن کاملUstilago maydis: Dissecting the Molecular Interface between Pathogen and Plant
Fungal diseases of plants represent one of the most eminent threats to agriculture. Given the food needs of a growing world population and that more and more crops are devoted to fuel production, the necessity to develop crops with better resistance to disease is increasing. To accomplish this, the mechanisms that plant pathogenic fungi use to colonize plants need to be elucidated. As of now, t...
