Inversion of the chromosomal region between two mating type loci switches the mating type in Hansenula polymorpha. [PDF]
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.

Lentinula edodes is a tetrapolar basidiomycete and its mating type is determined by two unlinked genetic loci, A and B. Theoretically, one dikaryotic strain could produce basidiospores with four different mating types in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Previous studies

Heterostyly is a breeding system that promotes outbreeding through a combination of morphological and physiological floral traits. In Turnera these traits are governed by a single, hemizygous S-locus containing just three genes.

Regulation of yeast mating-type interconversion: feedback control of HO gene expression by the mating-type locus. [PDF]
The ultimate product of yeast mating-type interconversion is a stable a/alpha diploid cell. A haploid cell carrying the HO gene gives rise to a diploid cell in a two-step process: first, the cell switches mating type as a result of genetic rearrangement (cassette substitution) catalyzed by HO; then, cells of opposite type mate to form a/alpha diploids.

Unraveling How Candida albicans Forms Sexual Biofilms. [PDF]
Biofilms, structured and densely packed communities of microbial cells attached to surfaces, are considered to be the natural growth state for a vast majority of microorganisms.

DNA loss at the Ceratocystis fimbriata mating locus results in self-sterility. [PDF]
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.

A SUPPRESSOR OF MATING-TYPE LOCUS MUTATIONS IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE: EVIDENCE FOR AND IDENTIFICATION OF CRYPTIC MATING-TYPE LOCI [PDF]
ABSTRACT A mutation has been identified that suppresses the mating and sporulation defects of all mutations in the mating-type loci of S. cereuisiae. This suppressor, sir1-1, restores mating ability to matαl and matα2 mutants and restores sporulation ability to matα2 and mata1 mutants.

GENE CONVERSION OF THE MATING-TYPE LOCUS IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE [PDF]
ABSTRACT Tetrad analysis of MAT a/MATα diploids of Saccharomyces cerevisiae generally yields 2 MATa:2MATα meiotic products. About 1 to 1.8% of the tetrads yield aberrant segregations for this marker. Described here are experiments that determine whether the aberrant meiotic segregations at the mating-type locus are ascribable to gene ...
