Fungal dimorphism regulated gene expression in Ustilago maydis : I. Filament up‐regulated genes
Molecular Plant Pathology, 2004 SUMMARY Ustilago maydis displays dimorphic growth alternating between a budding haploid and a filamentous dikaryon formed by mating of two haploid cells. This morphological switch plays a critical role in pathogenicity because only the filamentous dikaryon can infect maize.

Fungal dimorphism regulated gene expression in Ustilago maydis : II. Filament down‐regulated genes
Molecular Plant Pathology, 2004 SUMMARY Ustilago maydis displays dimorphic growth alternating between a budding haploid form and a filamentous dikaryon resulting from mating of two haploid cells. This morphological switch plays a critical role in pathogenicity because only the filamentous dikaryon can infect corn plants ...

The Petunia GRAS Transcription Factor ATA/RAM1 Regulates Symbiotic Gene Expression and Fungal Morphogenesis in Arbuscular Mycorrhiza [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2015 Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is a mutual symbiosis that involves a complex symbiotic interface over which nutrients are exchanged between the plant host and the AM fungus. Dozens of genes in the host are required for the establishment and functioning of the interaction, among them nutrient transporters that mediate the uptake of mineral nutrients ...

The WOPR family protein Ryp1 is a key regulator of gene expression, development, and virulence in the thermally dimorphic fungal pathogen Coccidioides posadasii [PDF]
PLOS Pathogens, 2021 AbstractCoccidioides spp. are mammalian fungal pathogens endemic to the southwestern US and other desert regions of Mexico, central and South America, with the bulk of US infections occurring in California and Arizona. In the soil, Coccidioides grows in a hyphal form that differentiates into 3-5 micron asexual spores (arthroconidia). When arthroconidia

DNA-Demethylase Regulated Genes Show Methylation-Independent Spatiotemporal Expression Patterns
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Recent research has indicated that a subset of defense-related genes is downregulated in the Arabidopsis DNA demethylase triple mutant rdd (ros1 dml2 dml3) resulting in increased susceptibility to the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum.
