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

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.

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.

First application of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays for rapid identification of mating type in the heterothallic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
, 2019 Background Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays, which operate at a single temperature and require no post-reaction processing, have been described for rapid species-specific detection of numerous fungi.

Transient population dynamics of mosquitoes during sterile male releases : modelling mating behaviour and perturbations of life history parameters [PDF]
, 2013 The release of genetically-modified or sterile male mosquitoes offers a promising form of mosquito-transmitted pathogen control, but the insights derived from our understanding of male mosquito behaviour have not fully been incorporated into the design ...

Genomic structure and evolution of the mating type locus in the green seaweed Ulva partita
Scientific Reports, 2017 The evolution of sex chromosomes and mating loci in organisms with UV systems of sex/mating type determination in haploid phases via genes on UV chromosomes is not well understood.

Selfing mutants link Ku proteins to mating type determination in Tetrahymena.
PLoS Biology, 2020 Recognition of self and nonself is important for outcrossing organisms, and different mating types establish the barrier against self-mating. In the unicellular ciliate T.

Identification of a novel type of spacer element required for imprinting in fission yeast [PDF]
, 2011 Asymmetrical segregation of differentiated sister chromatids is thought to be important for cellular differentiation in higher eukaryotes. Similarly, in fission yeast, cellular differentiation involves the asymmetrical segregation of a chromosomal ...

Evolutionary dynamics of mating-type loci of Mycosphaerella spp. occurring on banana
, 2010 The devastating Sigatoka disease complex of banana is primarily caused by three closely related heterothallic fungi belonging to the genus Mycosphaerella: M. fijiensis, M. musicola, and M. eumusae.

Evolution of the mating types and mating strategies in prominent genera in the Botryosphaeriaceae [PDF]
Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2018 Little is known regarding mating strategies in the Botryosphaeriaceae. To understand sexual reproduction in this fungal family, the mating type genes of Botryosphaeria dothidea and Macrophomina phaseolina, as well as several species of Diplodia, Lasiodiplodia and Neofusicoccum were characterized from whole genome assemblies.
