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

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 ...

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.

Identification and Characterization of the Gene Responsible for the O3 Mating Type Substance in Paramecium caudatum [PDF]
MicroorganismsThe process of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes starts when gametes from two different sexes encounter each other. Paramecium, a unicellular eukaryote, undergoes conjugation and uses a gametic nucleus to enter the sexual reproductive process.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Species Using Mating Type Genes and Distribution of Mating Types in Iran [PDF]
The Plant Pathology Journal, 2022 Phaeosphaeria species are pathogenic on wheat, barley and a wide range of wild grasses. To analyze mating type loci of the Phaeosphaeria species and investigate mating type distribution in Iran, we sequenced mating type loci of 273 Phaeosphaeria isolates

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.
