The smut fungus Ustilago maydis is a ubiquitous pathogen of corn. Although of minor economical importance, U. maydis has become the most attractive model among the plant pathogenic basidiomycetes under study. This fungus undergoes a number of morphological transitions throughout its life-cycle, the most prominent being the dimorphic switch from budding to filamentous growth that is prerequisite for entry into the biotrophic phase. The morphological transition is controlled by the tetrapolar mating system. Understanding the mating system has allowed connections to signalling cascades operating during pathogenic development. Here, we will review the status and recent insights into understanding pathogenic development of U. maydis and emphasize areas and directions of future research.
