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.
