Abstract excerpt
Modes of reproduction and sexual strategies strongly influence the genetic diversity and evolutionary potential of a species. The ascomycete fungus Clonostachys rosea is reported to be homothallic (sexually self-fertile), although a rapid decay of genome-wide linkage disequilibrium is also reported, something that is not in line with an obligate homothallic mode of reproduction. To investigate this phenomenon, we...
