This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Research over the past two decades shows that both recombination and clonality are likely to contribute to the reproduction of all fungi. This ...

WE are grateful for the clear genetical interpretation of heterothallism given by Dr. K. Mather 1, and may perhaps be allowed to carry his conclusions regarding reproduction in fungi a step further.

Fungi exhibit a fascinating array of sexual reproductive strategies that play a vital role in their adaptation and evolution. Central to these processes is the mating‐type (MAT) locus, which governs ...

Fungi are a diverse group of organisms with a huge variation in reproductive strategy. While almost all species can reproduce sexually, many reproduce asexually most of the time. When sexual ...

The ‘paradox of sex’ refers to the puzzle of why the sexual mode of reproduction is more common among living beings than the asexual mode. Sexual reproduction requires at least two mates, exposes ...

Jan. 29 (UPI) --Like most lichen, reindeer lichen can reproduce both sexually and asexually, by sending out spores or simply cloning themselves. Previously, researchers assumed reindeer lichen, ...

Fungi-eating orchids were found for the first time to offer their flowers to fungi-eating fruit flies in exchange for pollination, which is the first evidence for nursery pollination in orchids. This ...

Think fungi are just mushrooms and mold? Think again. Over 90% of fungal species are still unknown, and scientists are discovering new ones all the time. This World Fungus Day, dive into the hidden, ...
