Structure of the Mating-Type Genes and Mating Systems of Verpa bohemica and Verpa conica (Ascomycota, Pezizomycotina)

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Verpa spp. are potentially important economic fungi within Morchellaceae. However, fundamental research on their mating systems, the key aspects of their life cycle, remains scarce.

The Hos2 Histone Deacetylase Controls Ustilago maydis Virulence through Direct Regulation of Mating-Type Genes. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Morphological changes are critical for host colonisation in plant pathogenic fungi. These changes occur at specific stages of their pathogenic cycle in response to environmental signals and are mediated by transcription factors, which act as master ...

Genomic analysis of the necrotrophic fungal pathogens Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2011
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea are closely related necrotrophic plant pathogenic fungi notable for their wide host ranges and environmental persistence.

Comparative Analysis of Lifecycle-Dependent A to I RNA Editing in Three Members of the Microbotryum violaceum Fungal Complex [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
A-to-I RNA editing is increasingly recognized as a regulator of fungal development and pathogenesis, yet its extent and lifecycle dependence remain poorly characterized in basidiomycetes. Microbotryum superbum (MvSup), M.

Identification of Circadian Clock Homologs and Their Rhythmic Expression Differences Among Mating-Type Strains in Morchella sextelata [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
The circadian clock is a widespread rhythmic phenomenon across organisms, characterized by distinct gene expression patterns and behaviors at specific times of the day. Extensive genetic studies in the model fungus Neurospora crassa have yielded critical

Evidence for the Existence of Mating Subtypes Within the Schizophyllum commune: Mating Behavior and Genetic Divergence

Journal of Fungi
Schizophyllum commune, a Basidiomycota fungus with a tetrapolar mating system, serves as a key model for studying sexual reproduction. In this study, two distinct mating subtypes (I and II) were identified in strain 20R-7-ZF01, isolated from subseafloor ...

Dissecting the homeodomain MAT locus and engineering novel tripolar and bipolar mating systems in Cryptococcus amylolentus [PDF]

mBio
Sex in fungi is governed by the mating-type (MAT) locus, which exists as a bipolar, pseudobipolar, or tetrapolar system. The significance and impact of MAT on sexual reproduction, however, remain understudied.

Homeodomain protein Sxi1α independently controls cell-cell fusion and gene expression during sexual reproduction in Cryptococcus deneoformans. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics
Sex-specific homeodomain (HD) proteins are key regulators of cell identity and sexual development in fungi, typically functioning as heterodimers to govern transcription. In the human fungal pathogens Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus deneoformans,

Chromosome-scale genome assembly of Naematelia sinensis (Jin Er mushroom) offers new insights into the distinct mating-type genomes feature and genome evolution [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Naematelia sinensis (Jin Er mushroom) is a gelatinous fungus of significant economic and medicinal value indigenous to China. As an obligate parasite that requires Stereum hirsutum for basidiomata formation, it serves as a distinctive model for ...

Lineage-specific diversity of pheromone response pathway genes is independent of mating strategy in Ceratocystidaceae [PDF]

BMC Genomics
The pheromone-receptor system plays a crucial role in mate recognition and fertilisation of ascomycete fungi and is strongly regulated by proteins coded for in the mating-type locus.
