Survey and examination of the potential alternative hosts of Villosiclava virens, the pathogen of rice false smut, in China [PDF]
Rice false smut is caused by ascomycete Villosiclava virens, whose potential alternative hosts have been assumed previously. Here its potential alternative hosts were surveyed and identified from 2008 to 2013 in the main rice-growing regions in China ...

Effects of Carbon, Nitrogen, Ambient pH and Light on Mycelial Growth, Sporulation, Sorbicillinoid Biosynthesis and Related Gene Expression in Ustilaginoidea virens [PDF]
Sorbicillinoids are a class of hexaketide metabolites produced by Ustilaginoidea virens (teleomorph: Villosiclava virens), an important fungal pathogen that causes a devastating rice disease.

The Identification, Characterization, and Functional Analysis of the Sugar Transporter Gene Family of the Rice False Smut Pathogen, Villosiclava virens. [PDF]
False smut, caused by Villosiclava virens, is becoming increasingly serious in modern rice production systems, leading to yield losses and quality declines. Successful infection requires efficient acquisition of sucrose, abundant in rice panicles, as well as other sugars. Sugar transporters (STPs) may play an important role in this process. STPs belong

Detection of ustilaginoidins in rice samples by immunoassay based on monoclonal antibodies prepared from hemiustilaginoidin-derived haptens [PDF]
Ustilaginoidins are a class of bis-naphtho-γ-pyrone mycotoxins to threaten humans, animals and environment. Ustilaginoidins are produced by Villosiclava virens, the rice false smut pathogen.

Mating type loci analysis indicates that Villosiclava virens, the casual agent of false smut disease of rice, is a homothallic fungus [PDF]
Villosiclava virens (anamorph: Ustilaginoidea virens) was isolated from infected rice plants, where it caused false smut. Similar to other ascomycetes, the sexual compatibility of V. virens is controlled by the mating type (MAT) locus. In this study, we applied a PCR-based approach to screen mating type genes in the single asexual spore isolate.

Effect of calcined lime (CaO) on chlamydospores of the rice false smut pathogen, Villosiclava virens , and their root attachment and infection [PDF]
Abstract Rice false smut caused by Villosiclava virens is a devastating disease. The smut balls contain chlamydospores, which fall onto paddy soils to become the primary inoculum. After transplanting, the chlamydospores subsequently germinate and infect rice roots.

Transcriptomic analysis of the lighting inhibition on growth of Villosiclava virens mycelia
With the aim of exploring the regulating factors and involved mechanisms for the growth of Villosiclava virens mycelia, a strain (ZJ09) of this fungus was cultured on potato sucrose agar (PSA) plates under dark and lighting (with white light from ...
