Genetic basis of self-incompatibility in the lichen-forming fungus Lobaria pulmonaria and skewed frequency distribution of mating-type idiomorphs: implications for conservation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Fungal populations that reproduce sexually are likely to be genetically more diverse and have a higher adaptive potential than asexually reproducing populations.

Genome sequence of a European Diplocarpon coronariae strain and in silico structure of the mating-type locus

Frontiers in Plant Science
Diplocarpon coronariae is a fungal pathogen that is prevalent in low-input apple production. Over the past 15 years, it has become increasingly distributed in Europe. However, comprehensive insights into its biology and pathogenicity remain limited.

Fungal mating type genes — regulators of sexual development

Mycological Research, 1992
The mating type genes of the fungi determine sexual compatibility between different haploid individuals. In both ascomycetes and basidiomycetes the genes are seen to influence directly or indirectly the expression of developmentally regulated genes. Mating type genes from several species have now been cloned and sequenced and alternative forms within ...

Xenosiderophore transporter gene expression and clade-specific filamentation in Candida auris killifish (Aphanius dispar) infection [PDF]

Communications Biology
Candida auris is a critical priority fungal pathogen (World Health Organization). Clinical management is challenging, with high associated mortality, rapidly increasing antifungal resistance, and frequent nosocomial outbreaks.

Three-Dimensional Structural Heteromorphs of Mating-Type Proteins in Hirsutella sinensis and the Natural Cordyceps sinensis Insect–Fungal Complex

Journal of Fungi
The MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-2-1 proteins are essential for the sexual reproduction of Ophiocordyceps sinensis. Although Hirsutella sinensis has been postulated to be the sole anamorph of O.

Differential Gene Expression between Fungal Mating Types Is Associated with Sequence Degeneration [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2020
Abstract Degenerative mutations in non-recombining regions, such as in sex chromosomes, may lead to differential expression between alleles if mutations occur stochastically in one or the other allele. Reduced allelic expression due to degeneration has indeed been suggested to occur in various sex-chromosome systems.

Obligate sexual reproduction of a homothallic fungus closely related to the Cryptococcus pathogenic species complex

eLife, 2022
Sexual reproduction is a ubiquitous, ancient eukaryotic trait. While most sexual organisms have to find a mating partner, species as diverse as animals, plants, and fungi have evolved the ability to reproduce sexually without requiring another individual.

The Unique Homothallic Mating-Type Loci of the Fungal Tree Pathogens Chrysoporthe syzygiicola and Chrysoporthe zambiensis from Africa

Genes, 2023
Chrysoporthe syzygiicola and C. zambiensis are ascomycete tree pathogens first described from Zambia, causing stem canker on Syzygium guineense and Eucalyptus grandis, respectively.

DNA loss at the Ceratocystis fimbriata mating locus results in self-sterility. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Fungi have evolved a remarkable diversity of reproductive strategies. Some of these, most notably those of the model fungi, have been well studied but others are poorly understood.

The fate of recessive deleterious or overdominant mutations near mating-type loci under partial selfing

Peer Community Journal, 2023
Large regions of suppressed recombination having extended over time occur in many organisms around genes involved in mating compatibility (sex-determining or mating-type genes).
