Allelic exchange of pheromones and their receptors reprograms sexual identity in Cryptococcus neoformans. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 Cell type specification is a fundamental process that all cells must carry out to ensure appropriate behaviors in response to environmental stimuli.

Novel species of Huntiella from naturally-occurring forest trees in Greece and South Africa [PDF]
MycoKeys, 2020 Huntiella species are wood-infecting, filamentous ascomycetes that occur in fresh wounds on a wide variety of tree species. These fungi are mainly known as saprobes although some have been associated with disease symptoms.

White cells facilitate opposite- and same-sex mating of opaque cells in Candida albicans. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Modes of sexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms are extremely diverse. The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans undergoes a phenotypic switch from the white to the opaque phase in order to become mating-competent.

Discovery of a modified tetrapolar sexual cycle in Cryptococcus amylolentus and the evolution of MAT in the Cryptococcus species complex. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Sexual reproduction in fungi is governed by a specialized genomic region called the mating-type locus (MAT). The human fungal pathogenic and basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans has evolved a bipolar mating system (a, α) in which the MAT locus ...

mSphere, 2022 Fungal hyphal chemotropism has been shown to be a major contributor to host-pathogen interactions. Previous studies on Fusarium species have highlighted the involvement of the Ste2 G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) in mediating polarized hyphal growth ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fungal Biology and Biotechnology, 2020 Background Recently, a gene cluster responsible for biosynthesis of ustiloxin in Aspergillus flavus was identified as the first case of a ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) synthetic pathway in Ascomycota.
