[Les ustilaginomycètes] forment des amas de spores noires d’où le nom de charbon qui leur a été donné. L’espèce la plus connue est Ustilago maydis qui attaque le maïs provoquant des galles (c’est-à-dire des tumeurs où le tissu de l’hôte est hypertrophié et mélangé avec le mycélium) qui remplace les grains dans l’épi. 2, record 2, French, - charbon%20du%20ma%C3%AFs

Ustilago maydis attaque principalement les parties des plantes se trouvant en division cellulaire active. Les symptômes sont des sores gris qui apparaissent sur les tiges, les épis, les feuilles ou les inflorescences. Les sores éclatent après un certain temps et des spores brunes à noires sont libérées. Celles-ci peuvent survivre dans le sol pendant au moins 4 ans. Les plantes sont contaminées par des spores se trouvant dans le sol ou l'air. 3, record 2, French, - charbon%20du%20ma%C3%AFs

El tizón del maíz es un hongo muy pequeño que se cría en los maizales. La denominación de tizón se debe al aspecto que presenta el maíz cuando se ha instalado en él, quedando completamente negro, como si estuviera quemado. En la época de reproducción forma una especie de bolsitas blancas que se suelen encontrar en la base de la mazorca o en el tallo; en su interior se hallan las esporas, de color negro y olor muy desagradable. Cuando se abre la bolsa que las contiene se extienden por toda la planta, dando esa impresión de estar quemado. 1, record 2, Spanish, - carb%C3%B3n%20del%20ma%C3%ADz

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Like other smut diseases, common smut of corn derives its name from the sooty masses of teliospores found on infected host plants ... The most obvious symptoms are tumor-like galls that vary in size from less than 1 cm to more than 30 cm (0.4-12 inch) in diameter. All meristematic tissues are susceptible to infection. Galls are found most frequently on ears, tassels, stalks, nodal shoots, and mid-ribs of leaves ... Even though galls may form on many above-ground parts of the plant, infection is local (i.e., the host is not colonized systemically). Occasionally, galls develop beneath the soil surface when the apical meristem of a young plant is infected. 6, record 4, English, - corn%20smut

Although Ustilago maydis occurs throughout the world where corn is grown, the occurrence of common smut is localized in Australia where the disease is known as "maize boil smut". 6, record 4, English, - corn%20smut
