The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

A new hypothetical cell wall model for the dimorphic pathogenic fungi S. schenckii and S. brasiliensis.

, 2018
This model is based on biochemical and structural analyses (IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy) as well as HPF-TEM and fluorescence microscopy with ConA-Texas Red, WGA-FITC and CFW, which indicated the presence of a peptido-rhamnomannan component ...

Polyketides, Toxins and Pigments in Penicillium marneffei

Toxins, 2015
Penicillium marneffei (synonym: Talaromyces marneffei) is the most important pathogenic thermally dimorphic fungus in China and Southeastern Asia. The HIV/AIDS pandemic, particularly in China and other Southeast Asian countries, has led to the emergence ...

Endemic and Other Dimorphic Mycoses in The Americas

, 2021
Endemic fungi are thermally dimorphic fungi that have a limited geographic range and can cause both primary disease and opportunistic infections. The Americas are home to more genera of endemic fungi than anywhere else on earth.

Central Nervous System Infection with Other Endemic Mycoses: Rare Manifestation of Blastomycosis, Paracoccidioidomycosis, Talaromycosis, and Sporotrichosis

Journal of Fungi, 2019
The central nervous system (CNS) is not a major organ involved with infections caused by the endemic mycoses, with the possible exception of meningitis caused by Coccidioides species.

Organization and evolutionary trajectory of the mating type (MAT) locus in dermatophyte and dimorphic fungal pathogens

, 2010
Sexual reproduction in fungi is governed by a specialized genomic region, the mating type (MAT) locus, whose gene identity, organization, and complexity are diverse.

Species-specific circular RNA circDS-1 enhances adaptive evolution in Talaromyces marneffei through regulation of dimorphic transition.

PLoS Genetics
Thermal adaptability is a crucial characteristic for mammalian pathogenic fungi that originally inhabit natural ecosystems. Thermally dimorphic fungi have evolved a unique ability to respond to host body temperature by shifting from mycelia to yeast. The

An Overview of the Function and Maintenance of Sexual Reproduction in Dikaryotic Fungi

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Sexual reproduction likely evolved as protection from environmental stresses, specifically, to repair DNA damage, often via homologous recombination. In higher eukaryotes, meiosis and the production of gametes with allelic combinations different from ...
