The Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 Coordinate Virulence in the Rice False Smut Fungus Ustilaginoidea virens. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholTranscription factors UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 are essential for early infection and virulence in Ustilaginoidea virens. These two proteins form a heterodimer that cooperatively regulates downstream target genes during pathogenesis. ABSTRACT Ustilaginoidea virens is the causal agent of rice false smut, a devastating and globally widespread fungal disease ...

An Ustilaginoidea virens Nuclear Effector SCRE7 Inhibits Rice Immunity via Suppressing OsLBD11/12-Promoted Transcription of OsCPS2. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi secrete a great number of effector proteins into various organelles of host plants and suppress plant immunity through different mechanisms. In this study, we identify SCRE7 as a unique nuclear effector that is essential for U. virens infection.

An Ustilaginoidea virens glycoside hydrolase 42 protein is an essential virulence factor and elicits plant immunity as a PAMP. [PDF]
Mol Plant Pathol, 2023 UvGHF1, as a GH42‐type glycosyl hydrolase secreted by Ustilaginoidea virens, contributes to U. virens virulence, whereas it is recognized by the rice surveillance system to trigger plant immunity. Abstract Rice false smut, caused by the ascomycete fungus Ustilaginoidea virens, which infects rice florets before heading, severely threatens rice grain ...

The Velvet Protein UvVEA Regulates Conidiation and Chlamydospore Formation in Ustilaginoidea virens
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Rice false smut, caused by Ustilaginoidea virens, is a serious disease of rice worldwide, severely reducing the quantity and quality of rice production. The conserved fungal velvet proteins are global regulators of diverse cellular processes.

Sclerotia of rice false smut disease in Bangladesh
Fundamental and Applied Agriculture, 2023 It is perceived that sclerotia of the pathogen, in addition to chlamydospores, play an important role in the epidemiology of rice false smut disease. The propagule has been identified only in five rice growing countries of the world, and never recorded ...

The false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens requires rice stamens for false smut ball formation [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2019 Summary Rice false smut has emerged as a serious grain disease in rice production worldwide. The disease is characterized by the transformation of individual rice florets into false smut balls, which is caused by the fungal pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens . To date, little is

Immune-enriched phyllosphere microbiome in rice panicle exhibits protective effects against rice blast and rice false smut diseases. [PDF]
ImetaActivation of immune responses leads to an enrichment of beneficial microbes in rice panicle. We therefore selected the enriched operational taxonomy units (OTUs) exhibiting direct suppression effects on fungal pathogens, and established a simplified synthetic community (SynCom) which consists of three beneficial microbes.
