abstract：:The basidiomycete Ustilago maydis is the causative agent of the disease corn smut. To be pathogenic, strains of U. maydis must be heterozygous for a locus called "b," which appears to control both pathogenicity and sexual development. Two alleles of the b locus of U. maydis were isolated by complementation and hybridi...

One strategy to increase cell size is for the cell to amplify its chromosomal DNA content through endoreduplication cycles. Although endoreduplication is widespread in eukaryotes, we know very little about its molecular mechanisms. Successful prog...
