Gene Expression Differences among Three Neurospora Species Reveal Genes Required for Sexual Reproduction in Neurospora crassa
Many fungi form complex three-dimensional fruiting bodies, within which the meiotic machinery for sexual spore production has been considered to be largely conserved over evolutionary time. Indeed, much of what we know about meiosis in plant and animal taxa has been deeply informed by studies of meiosis in Saccharomyces and Neurospora. Nevertheless, the genetic basis of fruiting body developmen...
متن کاملRoles for receptors, pheromones, G proteins, and mating type genes during sexual reproduction in Neurospora crassa.
Here we characterize the relationship between the PRE-2 pheromone receptor and its ligand, CCG-4, and the general requirements for receptors, pheromones, G proteins, and mating type genes during fusion of opposite mating-type cells and sexual sporulation in the multicellular fungus Neurospora crassa. PRE-2 is highly expressed in mat a cells and is localized in male and female reproductive struc...
متن کاملSexual reproduction in octocorals
For octocorals, sexual reproductive processes are fundamental to maintaining populations and influencing macroevolutionary processes. While ecological data on octocorals have lagged behind their scleractinian counterparts, the proliferation of reproductive studies in recent years now enables comparisons between these important anthozoan taxa. Here we review the systematic and biogeographic patt...
متن کاملSexual reproduction in Aspergillus flavus.
Aspergillus flavus is the major producer of carcinogenic aflatoxins in crops worldwide and is also an important opportunistic human pathogen in aspergillosis. The sexual state of this heterothallic fungus is described from crosses between strains of the opposite mating type. Sexual reproduction occurred between sexually compatible strains belonging to different vegetative compatibility groups. ...
متن کاملEffects of Sexual Reproduction
Example 5.5: Near-critical binary splitting. The theorem applies to binary splitting where the probability of division is p(z) = 1/2+1/(2z), and q(z) = 1− p(z) is the probability of no children, if population size is z. Thus, m(z) = 1 + 1/z and the process is supercritical, but approaches criticality as z increases. The probability generating function of the offspring number is fz(s) = q(z) + p...
