In nature, Ustilago esculenta is a number of smut fungi belonging to the basidiomycetes. U. esculenta, as a living trophic fungus, specifically infects Zizania latifolia plants and induces stem expansion to form an unique vegetable named Jiaobai in China. Elucidating the genome of U. esculenta may play a important role in revealing the possible interaction mechanisms between Z. latifoli and U. esculenta inducing Jiaobai stem gall formation.

在自然界中，菰黑粉菌（Ustilago esculenta）是一类隶属于担子菌门（basidiomycetes）的黑粉菌。作为活体营养型真菌，菰黑粉菌会特异性侵染菰（Zizania latifolia）植株，并诱导其茎部膨大，形成中国特有的蔬菜茭白（Jiaobai）。解析菰黑粉菌的基因组，对于揭示菰与菰黑粉菌互作诱导茭白茎部虫瘿形成的潜在机制具有重要意义。
