In the plant Ustilago maydis causes: 1. A lowering of free radical concentrations in tissues of nodal roots and in internodial tissues close to the fungus. 2. Conversely, in tissues of the primary root, of aerial roots, of leaves and nodes 1–5, 13, 15 and 16 it causes a rise of free radicals concentration. Ustilago maydis has a similar effect upon free radicals concentration in maize leaves as Erysiphe graminis in barley leaves.
