Heterothallic Type of Mating System for Cordyceps cardinalis
Cordyceps cardinalis successfully produced its fruiting bodies from multi-ascospore isolates. However, subcultures of multi-ascospore isolates could not produce fruiting bodies after few generations. Fruiting body production also differed from sector to sector of the same isolate. Single ascospore isolates were then co-inoculated in combinations of two to observe the fruiting characteristics. C...
متن کاملUnconventional Recombination in the Mating Type Locus of Heterothallic Apple Canker Pathogen Valsa mali
Sexual reproduction in filamentous ascomycetes is controlled by the mating type (MAT) locus, including two idiomorphs MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 Understanding the MAT locus can provide clues for unveiling the sexual development and virulence factors for fungal pathogens. The genus Valsa (Sordariomycetes, Diaporthales) contains many tree pathogens responsible for destructive canker diseases. The sexual s...
متن کاملMutations in mating-type genes of the heterothallic fungus Podospora anserina lead to self-fertility.
The heterothallic fungus Podospora anserina has two mating-type alleles termed mat+ and mat-. The mat+ sequence contains one gene, FPR1, while mat- contains three genes: FMR1, SMR1, and SMR2. FPR1 and FMR1 are required for fertilization, which is followed by mitotic divisions of the two parental nuclei inside the female organ. This leads to the formation of plurinucleate cells containing a mixt...
متن کاملMating-type genes from the homothallic fungus Sordaria macrospora are functionally expressed in a heterothallic ascomycete.
Homokaryons from the homothallic ascomycte Sordaria macrospora are able to enter the sexual pathway and to form fertile fruiting bodies. To analyze the molecular basis of homothallism and to elucidate the role of mating-products during fruiting body development, we cloned and sequenced the entire S. macrospora mating-type locus. Comparison of the Sordaria mating-type locus with mating-type idio...
متن کاملInterconversion of Yeast Mating Types II. Restoration of Mating Ability to Sterile Mutants in Homothallic and Heterothallic Strains.
The two mating types of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be interconverted in both homothallic and heterothallic strains. Previous work indicates that all yeast cells contain the information to be both a and alpha and that the HO gene (in homothallic strains) promotes a change in mating type by causing a change at the mating type locus itself. In both heterothallic and homothallic strains...
