Fungi of the Ustilaginaceae family are the main causal agents of smut diseases in plants of the Poaceae family, resulting in significant agronomic and economic losses. The smut species present a biotrophic lifestyle, dependent on an intimate interaction with the host to complete its life cycle and produce spores (2n). The fungus Sporisorium panici-leucophaei (Spl) infects and colonizes se…
Sporisorium scitamineum is a dimorphic and biotrophic fungus responsible for smut disease in sugarcane. Smut species need to produce dikaryotic hyphae before successfully infecting the host cell and completing its sexual cycle. The mating reaction is controlled by two loci named a and b. There are two divergently transcribed genes in locus b encoding subunits (bE e bW) of a heterodimeric …
