The progress made in the molecular characterization of the mating types in several
filamentous ascomycetes has allowed us to better understand their role in sexual …

Sexual reproduction enables genetic exchange in eukaryotic organisms as diverse as fungi,
animals, plants, and ciliates. Given its ubiquity, sex is thought to have evolved once, possibly …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

This book will serve as the definitive reference work on the basic physiology, biochemistry,
development, genetics, and molecular biology of Neurospora, together with a description of …

The recognition of compatible mating partners in the basidiomycete fungi requires the
coordinated activities of two gene complexes defined as the mating-type genes. One …

▪ Abstract Mating type genes regulate sexual compatibility and sexual reproduction in fungi.
This review focuses on recent molecular analyses of well-characterized mating systems from …

Sexual reproduction requires sensing the environment to find a mate, and mating engages a
complex machinery for information exchange between individuals, cells, nuclei …

This chapter provides an up‐to‐date review of complex cellular transition steps in
Pezizomycotina, from the differentiation of reproductive cells to the development of the …

Five species of Hymenoscyphus that fruit on black stromatized parts of dead leaves of
deciduous trees are presented, giving details on their morphological and ecological …

The ascomycete and basidiomycete fungi have contributed much to our understanding of
eukaryotic cell biology. The study of mate recognition, in particular, has provided detailed …
