Evidence for maintenance of sex determinants but not of sexual stages in red yeasts, a group of early diverged basidiomycetes.

BMC evolutionary biology - 31 Aug 2011

Coelho Marco A, Gonçalves Paula, Sampaio José P

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The red yeasts are an early diverged group of basidiomycetes comprising sexual and asexual species. Sexuality is based on two compatible mating types and sexual identity is determined by MAT loci that encode homeodomain transcription factors, peptide pheromones and their receptors. The objective of the present study was to investigate the presence and integrity of MAT genes throughout the phylogenetic...
