Unisexual reproduction in Huntiella moniliformis.
Sexual reproduction in fungi is controlled by genes present at the mating type (MAT) locus, which typically harbors transcription factors that influence the expression of many sex-related genes. The MAT locus exists as two alternative idiomorphs in ascomycetous fungi and sexual reproduction is initiated when genes from both idiomorphs are expressed. Thus, the gene content of this locus determin...
متن کاملUnisexual Reproduction of Cryptococcus gattii
Cryptococcus gattii is a basidiomycetous human fungal pathogen that typically causes infection in tropical and subtropical regions and is responsible for an ongoing outbreak in immunocompetent individuals on Vancouver Island and in the Pacific Northwest of the US. Pathogenesis of this species may be linked to its sexual cycle that generates infectious propagules called basidiospores. A marked p...
متن کاملPheromone expression reveals putative mechanism of unisexuality in a saprobic ascomycete fungus
Homothallism (self-fertility) describes a wide variety of sexual strategies that enable a fungus to reproduce in the absence of a mating partner. Unisexual reproduction, a form of homothallism, is a process whereby a fungus can progress through sexual reproduction in the absence of mating genes previously considered essential for self-fertility. In this study, we consider the molecular mechanis...
متن کاملBehavioral facilitation of reproduction in sexual and unisexual whiptail lizards.
All-female, parthenogenetic species afford a unique test of hypotheses regarding the nature and evolution of sexuality. Mating behavior accomplishes the transfer of gametes and stimulates the coordination of reproductive activity of the male and female. Cnemidophorus uniparens, a parthenogenetic species, is believed to have resulted from the hybridization of two extant gonochoristic species, Cn...
متن کاملUnisexual Reproduction Drives Evolution of Eukaryotic Microbial Pathogens
Genetic exchange occurs via horizontal gene transfer in bacteria and archea or sexual reproduction in fungal and parasitic eukaryotic microbes. Sexual reproduction is universal, or nearly so, in eukaryotes. Until recently, most eukaryotic microbial pathogens were thought to be clonal and asexual due to the absence of a compatible partner or the lack of morphological or population genetic eviden...
