Ustilago maydis grows in its host Zea mays eliciting the formation of tumours that become full of black teliospores. Teliospores are thick-walled, dormant, diploid cells that have evolved for dispersal and survival of the pathogen. Their germination leads to new rounds of infection and is temporally linked to meiosis. I have investigated gene expression during teliospore germination through creation of an EST library. Assembly of 2871 ESTs produced 1293 contiguous sequences. Based upon a blast search similarity cut-off of E ≤ 10-5 38% of all contigs were orphans while 62% showed similarity to sequences in the protein database. Analyses of blast searches were used to functionally classify genes. Northern hybridizations using cDNA clones reveal a relative level of expression consistent with the number of sequences per contig. Identified genes and expression information provide a base for genome annotation of U. maydis and further investigation of teliospore germination and pathogenesis.

Introduction: Ustilago maydis is a fungus included in the group of Bacidiomycete that host maize and teocinte plants producing a disease known as common smut or , there are no reports regarding the secretome of this organism grown under in vitro conditions. This information might be useful to characterize the genes involved in several important processes such as those related.

Occasionally, abnormal teliospore germination was observed. The most common cytological aberrations were (1) direct teliospore germination from the spore itself or from a single metabasidial cell (Fig. 13), (2) sudden death of a portion or the whole metabasidium, (3) .

In the past few years, expressed sequence tag (EST) projects on plant species have generated a vast amount of publicly available sequence data that can be mined for simple sequence repeats (SSRs). However, these EST projects have largely focused on crop or otherwise economically important plants, and so far only few studies have been published. develop microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for use in population genetics studies, a total of 60, expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences (reads) generated from P. graminis f. sp. tritici were screened for tandemly repeated di- and tri-nucleotide units using a bioinformatics approach and unisequences containing.

maydis meiosis genes are identified. Corn smut is a plant disease caused by the pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis that causes smut on maize and fungus forms galls on all above-ground parts of corn species. It is edible, and is known in Mexico as the delicacy huitlacoche; which is eaten, usually as a filling, in quesadillas and other tortilla-based foods, and : Ustilaginomycetes.
Ustilago maydis is a model fungal pathogen that induces the formation of tumors in maize. The tumor provides an environment for hyphal differentiation, leading to the formation of thick-walled, diploid teliospores.
Such spores serve as a dispersal agent for smut and rust fungi, and their germination leads to new rounds of infection. The morphological changes that occur during teliospore Cited by: Teliospore germination readily occurs in many species, or it can be induced by treatments such as soaking in water or plant extracts (Fischer and Holton ).
Conjugation can often be seen when compatible cell types are mixed, but the dikaryophase may be unstable in culture and few species have been grown through the complete life history.

About the Ustilago maydis genome. Ustilago maydis is the causal agent of the corn smut crop disease. This basidiomycete can infect any part of the plant but usually it reaches the ovaries which causes the kernels to grow into large greyish tumors.
DNA sequence analysis combined with Northern hybridization analysis and primer extension analysis studies has shown that the ornithine-N5-oxygenese gene of Ustilago maydis is complex consisting of one large open reading frame with amino acid sequence similarity to iucD of the Escherichia coli aerobactin operon and three more smaller exonic regions.
This chapter discusses species that include Ustilago hordei in particular, that have provided useful comparative information leading to insights into the genetic basis of bipolar versus tetrapolar mating systems in the smut fungi as a group.

Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is an obligate biotrophic pathogen that causes leaf stripe rust on wheat. Although it is critical to understand molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis in the wheat stripe rust fungus for developing novel disease management strategies, little is known about its genome and gene functions due to difficulties in molecular studies with this important pathogen.
