Ustilago maydis, the delightful blight
Trends Genet.
1992 May.
Abstract
Recent studies of the corn smut fungus life cycle and its regulation by two mating type loci and other genes provide a cornucopia of challenges in cell biology, genetics and protein structure. The fungus can exist in two states: nonpathogenic and pathogenic. The change from one state to the other is accompanied by a change in morphology (yeast-like to filamentous) and growth properties (saprophytic to parasitic).
