Courtship in S. cerevisiae: both cell types choose mating partners by responding to the strongest pheromone signal.

Cell - 30 Nov 1990

Jackson C L, Hartwell L H

Abstract excerpt

We demonstrate that during the courtship stage of conjugation, S. cerevisiae a cells choose the alpha cell producing the highest level of pheromone from among potential mating partners. From this result and that for alpha cells we conclude that both a and alpha cells act as signaling cells during...
