Abstract excerpt
The large diversity of mating systems observed in the fungal kingdom underlines the importance of mating system change in fungal evolution. The selfing species Neurospora tetrasperma has evolved a novel method of achieving self-fertility by a mating system referred to as pseudohomothallism. However, little is known about the origin of N. tetrasperma and its relationship to the self-sterile, heterothallic,...
