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 ...

A genetic linkage map of Venturia inaequalis, the causal agent of apple scab [PDF]

, 2009
Background Venturia inaequalis is an economically-important disease of apple causing annual epidemics of scab worldwide. The pathogen is a heterothallic ascomycete with an annual cycle of sexual reproduction on infected apple leaf litter, followed by ...

Peptides derived from Kex2-processed repeat proteins are widely distributed and highly diverse in the Fungi kingdom

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.

De novo assembly of a 40 Mb eukaryotic genome from short sequence reads: Sordaria macrospora, a model organism for fungal morphogenesis [PDF]

, 2010
Filamentous fungi are of great importance in ecology, agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology. Thus, it is not surprising that genomes for more than 100 filamentous fungi have been sequenced, most of them by Sanger sequencing.

The FpPPR1 Gene Encodes a Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein That Is Essential for Asexual Development, Sporulation, and Pathogenesis in Fusarium pseudograminearum

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Fusarium crown rot (FCR) and Fusarium head blight (FHB) are caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum and are newly emerging diseases of wheat in China. In this study, we characterized FpPPR1, a gene that encodes a protein with 12 pentatricopeptide repeat ...

Mating type (MAT) locus and possible sexuality of the opportunistic pathogen Exophiala dermatitidis [PDF]

, 2019
Sexual reproduction among the black yeasts is generally limited to environmental saprobic species and is rarely observed among opportunists in humans. To date, a complete sexual cycle has not been observed in Exophiala dermatitidis.

Multiple convergent supergene evolution events in mating-type chromosomes

Nature Communications, 2018
Supergenes result from beneficial linkage and recombination suppression between two or more genes. Giraud and colleagues use whole genome sequencing data to show convergent evolution of supergenes on mating-type chromosomes in multiple closely-related ...

The AGC Kinase SsAgc1 Regulates Sporisorium scitamineum Mating/Filamentation and Pathogenicity

mSphere, 2019
Sporisorium scitamineum is the fungal pathogen causing severe sugarcane smut disease that leads to massive economic losses globally. S. scitamineum invades host cane by dikaryotic hyphae, formed after sexual mating of two haploid sporidia of opposite ...
