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

PLoS 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.

Genetic Diversity, Population Structure and Mating Type Distribution of Setosphaeria turcica on Corn in Midwestern China

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Setosphaeria turcica is the causal agent of northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), which is a destructive foliar disease of corn around the world. To date, limited information is available on the genetic diversity, population structure, and mating type ...

High Temporal Variability in Late Blight Pathogen Diversity, Virulence, and Fungicide Resistance in Potato Breeding Fields: Results from a Long-Term Monitoring Study

Plants, 2022
Long-term site-specific studies describing changes in the phenotypic variability of Phytophthora infestans populations allow quantitative predictions of pathogen spread and possible outbreaks of epidemics, and provide key input for regional resistance ...

Genetic diversity and population structure of Ascochyta rabiei from the western Iranian Ilam and Kermanshah provinces using MAT and SSR markers [PDF]

, 2010
Knowledge of genetic diversity in A. rabiei provides different levels of information that are important in the management of crop germplasm resources. Gene flow on a regional level indicates a significant potential risk for the regional spread of novel ...

The repeatability of mating failure in a polyandrous bug [PDF]

, 2015
Funding: NERC DTG ABE1-NERC13Mating failure, characterised by the lack of production of offspring following copulation, is relatively common across taxa yet is little understood.

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

G3: 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.

PLoS 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

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

PLoS 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.

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

mBio, 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.

Female mating decisions in the Trinidadian guppy, Poecilia reticulata [PDF]

, 2009
Contrary to traditional belief, the decisions that females make before, during and after mating shape its outcome and ultimately fitness. The aim of this thesis was to examine how females modify and adjust their mating decisions in line with social and ...
