Why do some fungi want to be sterile? The role of dysfunctional Pro1 in the rice blast fungus

2023-01-24

Abstract excerpt

Although sexual reproduction is widespread in eukaryotes, some fungal species can only reproduce asexually. Therefore, loss of sexual reproduction may confer survival advantages under certain conditions in certain species. In the rice blast fungus Pyricularia ( Magnaporthe ) oryzae , several isolates from the region of origin retain mating ability (female fertility), but most isolates are female sterile. Theref...
