Ustilago maydis causes common smut in maize, which is characterized by tumor formation
in aerial parts of maize. Tumors result from the de novo cell division of highly developed …

The biotrophic smut fungus Ustilago maydis infects all aerial organs of maize (Zea mays)
and induces tumors in the plant tissues. U. maydis deploys many effector proteins to …

Ustilago maydis is a biotrophic fungus that induces formation of tumors in maize (Zea mays
L). In a recent study we identified See1 (Seedling efficient effector 1) as an U. maydis organ …

Ustilago maydis is a smut fungus that infects all aerial maize organs, namely, seedling
leaves, tassels, and ears. In all organs, tumors are formed by inducing hypertrophy and …

The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis causes the smut disease of maize. The interaction
with its host and induction of characteristic tumors are governed largely by secreted effectors …

The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis causes smut disease on maize (Zea mays), which is
characterized by immense plant tumours. To establish disease and reprogram organ …

Infection of maize by corn smut (Ustilago maydis) provides an agronomically important
model of biotrophic host-pathogen interactions. After penetration of the maize epidermis …

Ustilago maydis is a biotrophic pathogen and well-established genetic model to understand
the molecular basis of biotrophic interactions. U. maydis suppresses plant defense and …

Plant pathogens secrete effectors, which target host proteins to facilitate infection. The
Ustilago maydis effector UmSee1 is required for tumor formation in the leaf during infection …

The maize smut fungus Ustilago maydis is a model organism for elucidating host
colonization strategies of biotrophic fungi. Here, we performed an in depth transcriptional …
