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.

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.

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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).

The mating-type chromosome in the filamentous ascomycete Neurospora tetrasperma represents a model for early evolution of sex chromosomes. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2008
We combined gene divergence data, classical genetics, and phylogenetics to study the evolution of the mating-type chromosome in the filamentous ascomycete Neurospora tetrasperma.

Shifting fungal reproductive mode by manipulation of mating type genes: obligatory heterothallism of Gibberella zeae [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2003
SummaryFungi capable of sexual reproduction use heterothallic (self‐sterile) or homothallic (self‐fertile) mating strategies. In most ascomycetes, a single mating type locus, MAT, with two alternative forms (MAT1‐1 and MAT1‐2) called idiomorphs, controls mating ability.
