Variation in mate-recognition pheromones of the fungal genus Microbotryum.

Heredity - 1 Jan 2016

Xu L, Petit E, Hood M E

Abstract excerpt

Mate recognition is an essential life-cycle stage that exhibits strong conservation in function, whereas diversification of mating signals can contribute directly to the integrity of species boundaries through assortative mating. Fungi are simple models, where compatibility is based on the recognition of pheromone peptides by corresponding receptor proteins, but clear patterns of diversification have not emerged...
