Exploring the cAMP/PKA pathway in the corn smut pathogen Ustilago maydis through serial analysis of gene expression

Ustilago maydis is the causative agent of corn smut disease. The ability of the fungus to switch from budding to filamentous growth is required for pathogenesis. Mating type genes and signaling pathways (cAMP and MAPK) regulate morphogenesis and pathogenesis in U. maydis. A novel protein Hgll app...
