Little Evidence of Antagonistic Selection in the Evolutionary Strata of Fungal Mating-Type Chromosomes (Microbotryum lychnidis-dioicae)

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Recombination suppression on sex chromosomes often extends in a stepwise manner, generating evolutionary strata of differentiation between sex chromosomes.

A single Ho-induced double-strand break at the MAT locus is lethal in Candida glabrata.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2020
Mating-type switching is a complex mechanism that promotes sexual reproduction in Saccharomycotina. In the model species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mating-type switching is initiated by the Ho endonuclease that performs a site-specific double-strand break

Deletion of a Yci1 Domain Protein of Candida albicans Allows Homothallic Mating in MTL Heterozygous Cells

open access: yesmBio, 2016
It has been proposed that the ancestral fungus was mating competent and homothallic. However, many mating-competent fungi were initially classified as asexual because their mating capacity was hidden behind layers of regulation.

Genetic and Molecular Evidence of a Tetrapolar Mating System in the Edible Mushroom Grifola frondosa

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2023
Grifola frondosa is a valuable edible fungus with high nutritional and medicinal values. The mating systems of fungi not only offer practical strategies for breeding, but also have far-reaching effects on genetic variability.

Unisexual reproduction promotes competition for mating partners in the global human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus deneoformans.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2019
Courtship is pivotal for successful mating. However, courtship is challenging for the Cryptococcus neoformans species complex, comprised of opportunistic fungal pathogens, as the majority of isolates are α mating type.

Comparative genomics of the mating-type loci of the mushroom Flammulina velutipes reveals widespread synteny and recent inversions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Mating-type loci of mushroom fungi contain master regulatory genes that control recognition between compatible nuclei, maintenance of compatible nuclei as heterokaryons, and fruiting body development.

Nonsex genes in the mating type locus of Candida albicans play roles in a/α biofilm formation, including impermeability and fluconazole resistance.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2012
The mating type locus (MTL) of Candida albicans contains the mating type genes and has, therefore, been assumed to play an exclusive role in the mating process.

Sporulation in Ashbya gossypii

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2020
Ashbya gossypii is a filamentous ascomycete belonging to the yeast family of Saccharomycetaceae. At the end of its growth phase Ashbya generates abundant amounts of riboflavin and spores that form within sporangia derived from fragmented cellular ...

Genome-wide gene expression profiling of fertilization competent mycelium in opposite mating types in the heterothallic fungus Podospora anserina. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Mating-type loci in yeasts and ascomycotan filamentous fungi (Pezizomycotina) encode master transcriptional factors that play a critical role in sexual development.
