A coupled process of same- and opposite-sex mating generates polyploidy and genetic diversity in Candida tropicalis.

PLoS genetics - 1 May 2018

Abstract excerpt

Sexual reproduction is a universal mechanism for generating genetic diversity in eukaryotes. Fungi exhibit diverse strategies for sexual reproduction both in nature and in the laboratory. In this study, we report the discovery of same-sex (homothallic) mating in the human fungal pathogen Candida tropicalis. We show that same-sex mating occurs between two cells carrying the same mating type (MTLa/a or α/α) and...
