Abstract

Genome of a maize pathogen Ustilago maydis is an important fungal pathogen of maize, causing corn smut. It is well adapted to its host and proliferates in living plant tissue without inducing a defence response. The genome sequence of U. maydis has now been determined, the first for a biotrophic plant parasite. Several gene clusters that encode secreted proteins of unknown function were identified: genome-wide expression analysis shows that the clustered genes are upregulated during disease. Mutations in these gene clusters frequently affect virulence, ranging from complete loss of pathogenicity to hypervirulence.
