Evolution of anisogamy in the early diverging fungus, <i>Allomyces</i>

2017-12-07

Abstract excerpt

Gamete size dimorphism between sexes (anisogamy) is predicted to have evolved from an isogamous system in which sexes have equal-sized, monomorphic gametes. Although adaptive explanations for the evolution of anisogamy abound, we lack comparable insights into molecular changes that bring about the transition from monomorphism to dimorphism. The basal fungal clade Allomyces provides unique opportunities to investi...
