Hypersensitivity pneumonitis induced by a smut fungus Ustilago esculenta.
A case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by a smut fungus Ustilago esculenta is presented.
متن کاملGene transfer system for the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis.
A selectable marker for transformation was constructed by transcriptional fusion of a Ustilago maydis heat shock gene promoter with the hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene of Escherichia coli. U. maydis was transformed to hygromycin B resistance by polyethylene glycol-induced fusion of spheroplasts following exposure to plasmid DNA that carried the marker gene. Transformation frequencies of 50...
متن کاملPheromone-induced G2 arrest in the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis.
In the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis, pathogenic development is initiated when two compatible haploid cells fuse and form the infectious dikaryon. Mating is dependent on pheromone recognition by compatible cells. In this report, we set out to evaluate the relationship between the cell cycle and the pheromone response in U. maydis. To achieve this, we designed a haploid pheromone-responsive s...
متن کاملHuitlacoche (corn smut), caused by the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis, as a functional food.
BACKGROUND In recent years the need has arisen to study and develop (or re-discover) foods that have nutritional characteristics as well as specific functions, such as improving health and/or reducing the risk of disease. For this reason knowledge of the nutritional value of food is important to promote greater consumer acceptance. In Mexico huitlacoche (also, cuitlacoche) has traditionally bee...
متن کاملThe DNA damage response signaling cascade regulates proliferation of the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis in planta.
In the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis, the dikaryotic state dominates the period of growth occurring during the infectious phase. Dikaryons are cells in which two nuclei, one from each parent cell, share a single cytoplasm for a period of time without undergoing nuclear fusion. In fungal cells, maintenance of the dikaryotic state requires an intricate cell division process that often in...
