Ubc2, an Ortholog of the Yeast Ste50p Adaptor, Possesses a Basidiomycete-Specific Carboxy Terminal Extension Essential for Pathogenicity Independent of Pheromone Response

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2008
Proteins involved in the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway controlling mating, morphogenesis, and pathogenicity have been identified previously in the fungus Ustilago maydis.

Sex-based metabolic and microbiota differences in roots and rhizosphere soils of dioecious papaya (Carica papaya L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Dioecious plant species have a high genetic variation that is important for coping with or adapting to environmental stress through natural selection. Intensive studies have reported dimorphism morphism in morphology, physiology, as well as biotic and ...

The quantitative genetic basis of female and male body size and their implications on the evolution of body size dimorphism in the house cricket Acheta domesticus (Gryllidae)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
Few theoretical and experimental studies have analyzed the genetic basis of body size dimorphism. Since the evolutionary response to selection depends of the genetic variance in a population it is to be expected that traits under selection would have ...

Sexual dimorphism in cancer [PDF]

Nature Reviews Cancer, 2016
The incidence of many types of cancer arising in organs with non-reproductive functions is significantly higher in male populations than in female populations, with associated differences in survival. Occupational and/or behavioural factors are well-known underlying determinants.

Differential Gene Expression of Mucor lusitanicus under Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Mucor lusitanicus and some other members of the fungal order Mucorales display the phenomenon of morphological dimorphism. This means that these fungi aerobically produce filamentous hyphae, developing a coenocytic mycelium, but they grow in a multipolar

Volatile Fingerprint Mediates Yeast-to-Mycelial Conversion in Two Strains of Beauveria bassiana Exhibiting Varied Virulence

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Beauveria bassiana is a dimorphic and entomopathogenic fungus with different ecological roles in nature. In pathogenic fungi, yeast-to-mycelial conversion, which is controlled by environmental factors, is required for virulence.

GlcNAc induces GlcNAc catabolic genes and inhibits filamentation via YlRep1-YlNgs1 signaling in the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

mSphere
Many fungal species can utilize N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) as a carbon source. Studies in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans have revealed that GlcNAc utilization and the induction of GlcNAc catabolic genes depend on the Ndt80 family transcription ...
