Mutations in mating-type genes of the heterothallic fungus Podospora anserina lead to self-fertility.

Genetics - 1 Oct 2001

Arnaise S, Zickler D, Le Bilcot S, Poisier C, Debuchy R

Abstract excerpt

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 mixture of parental...
