Essential genes encoded by the mating-type locus of the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
MBioFungal sexual reproduction is controlled by the mating-type (MAT) locus. In contrast to a majority of species in the phylum Basidiomycota that have tetrapolar mating-type systems, the opportunistic human pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans employs a bipolar

Structural Analysis of the A Mating Type Locus and Development of the Mating Type Marker of Agaricus bisporus var. bisporus [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Karyotyping in Agaricus bisporus is crucial for both the isolation of homokaryotic strains and the confirmation of dikaryon establishment. For the verification of the karyotype, the A mating type loci of two homokaryotic strains, H39 and H97, were ...

Stepwise recombination suppression around the mating-type locus in an ascomycete fungus with self-fertile spores. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2023 Recombination is often suppressed at sex-determining loci in plants and animals, and at self-incompatibility or mating-type loci in plants and fungi. In fungal ascomycetes, recombination suppression around the mating-type locus is associated with pseudo ...

Genome sequence of a European Diplocarpon coronariae strain and in silico structure of the mating-type locus [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceDiplocarpon coronariae is a fungal pathogen that is prevalent in low-input apple production. Over the past 15 years, it has become increasingly distributed in Europe. However, comprehensive insights into its biology and pathogenicity remain limited.

Selecting one of several mating types through gene segment joining and deletion in Tetrahymena thermophila. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 The unicellular eukaryote Tetrahymena thermophila has seven mating types. Cells can mate only when they recognize cells of a different mating type as non-self. As a ciliate, Tetrahymena separates its germline and soma into two nuclei.

Inversion of the chromosomal region between two mating type loci switches the mating type in Hansenula polymorpha. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Yeast mating type is determined by the genotype at the mating type locus (MAT). In homothallic (self-fertile) Saccharomycotina such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluveromyces lactis, high-efficiency switching between a and α mating types enables mating.

Mating type locus of Chinese black truffles reveals heterothallism and the presence of cryptic species within the T. indicum species complex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Tuber spp. are filamentous ascomycetes which establish symbiosis with the roots of trees and shrub species. By virtue of this symbiosis they produce hypogeous ascocarps, known as truffles.
