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.

Genetic basis of self-incompatibility in the lichen-forming fungus Lobaria pulmonaria and skewed frequency distribution of mating-type idiomorphs: implications for conservation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Fungal populations that reproduce sexually are likely to be genetically more diverse and have a higher adaptive potential than asexually reproducing populations.

Mating-Type Imputation (MTI) Provides an Efficient Tool for the Mating-Type Inference of Tetrapolar Fungi [PDF]
Journal of FungiMating-type identification is fundamental to studies of genetic diversity and genetic breeding in fungi, especially for tetrapolar basidiomycetes, whose mating types are determined by two multiallelic loci, A and B. Traditional mating-type identification

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.

Regulation of mating type switching by the mating type genes and RME1 in Ogataea polymorpha [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its closely related yeasts undergo mating type switching by replacing DNA sequences at the active mating type locus (MAT) with one of two silent mating type cassettes.

Effects of mating-type ratio imbalance on the degeneration of Cordyceps militaris subculture and preventative measures [PDF]
PeerJThe rapid degeneration of Cordyceps militaris strains during subculture represents a bottleneck problem that affects production stability. This study explored the mechanism underlying this degeneration in three production and three wild-type strains of ...

Indirect Evidence Based on Mating-Type Ratios for the Role of Sexual Reproduction in European and Chinese Populations of Plenodomus biglobosus (Blackleg of Oilseed Rape) [PDF]
Pathogens, 2022 Blackleg (Phoma) disease, caused by the ascomycete fungi Plenodomus biglobosus and P. lingam, threatens oilseed rape (OSR; Brassica napus) crops internationally. In many parts of the world, both species co-occur, but in China only P.

A seven-sex species recognizes self and non-self mating-type via a novel protein complex [PDF]
eLifeAlthough most species have two sexes, multisexual (or multi-mating type) species are also widespread. However, it is unclear how mating-type recognition is achieved at the molecular level in multisexual species.
