Transgenic maize plants expressing the Totivirus antifungal protein, KP4, are highly resistant to corn smut

The corn smut fungus, Ustilago maydis, is a global pathogen responsible for extensive agricultural losses. Control of corn smut using traditional breeding has met with limited success because natural resistance to U. maydis is organ specific and involves numerous maize genes. Here, we present a tran...
