About

Ustilago filiformis es un hongo carbón de la familia Ustilaginaceae, un biotrofo obligado que infecta gramíneas de cañaveral (especies de Glyceria) y transforma sus partes florales en masas de teliósporas oscuras. Manipula el desarrollo de la planta hospedadora para crear agallas en lugar de ovarios normales, que luego dispersan las esporas fúngicas. Las infecciones de carbón por especies de Ustilago pueden reducir significativamente la producción de semillas de sus hospedadoras gramíneas.
