The Plot Thickens: Haploid and Triploid-Like Thalli, Hybridization, and Biased Mating Type Ratios in Letharia [PDF]
Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2021 The study of the reproductive biology of lichen fungal symbionts has been traditionally challenging due to their complex lifestyles. Against the common belief of haploidy, a recent genomic study found a triploid-like signal in Letharia.

How to make a haploid male [PDF]
Evolution Letters, 2019 Haplodiploidy has evolved repeatedly among invertebrates, and appears to be associated with inbreeding. Evolutionary biologists have long debated the possible benefits for females in diplodiploid species to produce haploid sons–beginning their population'

Chromosome doubling by colchicine injection and haploidy induction in tropical genotypes of common and supersweet corn [PDF]
Semina: Ciências AgráriasThe double-haploid technology in maize was developed in temperate environments, using germplasm and inducers adapted for these environments, with the aim of accelerating the obtaining of homozygous inbred lines.

Mitotic recombination accelerates adaptation in the fungus Aspergillus nidulans. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2007 Understanding the prevalence of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes is a hard problem. At least two aspects still defy a fully satisfactory explanation, the functional significance of genetic recombination and the great variation among taxa in the relative

Derivation of Mouse Haploid Trophoblast Stem Cells
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: Trophoblast stem (TS) cells are increasingly used as a model system for studying placentation and placental disorders. However, practical limitations of genetic manipulation have posed challenges for genetic analysis using TS cells.

Metabolic Imbalance Triggers Adaptive Remodeling to Accelerate Diploidization in Murine Haploid Embryonic Stem Cells. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)In this article, Shuai and colleagues demonstrate that metabolic remodeling drives self‐diploidization in murine haploid ESCs (haESCs). Mitochondrial dysfunction and imbalanced pyruvate metabolism underlie this process. Genome‐wide screening using haESCs identifies key mitochondrial quality‐control related genes, enabling a metabolism‐based medium that

Ploidy Variation and Spontaneous Haploid-Diploid Switching of Candida glabrata Clinical Isolates
mSphere, 2022 The human fungal pathogen Candida glabrata is phylogenetically closely related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a model eukaryotic organism. Unlike S. cerevisiae, which has both haploid and diploid forms and a complete sexual cycle, C. glabrata has long been

The evolution of haploidy and diploidy [PDF]
Current Biology, 2008 It is remarkable that one of the most fundamental features of an organism — its ploidy level — is so variable among taxa, with life cycles running the entire gamut from complete haploid dominance to complete diploid dominance. Theoretical studies have clarified many important genetic advantages to haploidy (for example, lower mutation load, more rapid ...
