The filamentous ascomycete genus Neurospora encompasses taxa with a wide range of
reproductive modes. Sexual reproduction in this genus can be divided into three major …

In this study, we investigated the genealogies of genes important for sexual identity, ie
mating-type (mat) and pheromone-receptor (pre) genes, among heterothallic and …

The large diversity of mating systems observed in the fungal kingdom underlines the
importance of mating system change in fungal evolution. The selfing species Neurospora …

The objective of this study was to explore the evolutionary history of the morphologically
recognized filamentous ascomycete Neurospora tetrasperma, and to reveal the genetic and …

Neurospora possesses more cell types than are commonly recognized. We have been able
to identify 28 morphologically distinct types. Having the cell types clearly defined will be …

Many fungi form complex three-dimensional fruiting bodies, within which the meiotic
machinery for sexual spore production has been considered to be largely conserved over …

This is an opportune time to evaluate the contributions of Neurospora to genetics and
biology in the recent past and to anticipate what its role might be in the years ahead. The …

The vegetative thallus of Neurospora tetrasperma naturally exists as a self-fertile
heterokaryon with nuclei of both A and a mating types. Meiosis and ascospore development …

Vegetative cells of the filamentous ascomycete Neurospora tetrasperma are typically
heterokaryotic, possessing haploid nuclei of both A and a mating types. As a consequence …

We examined the phylogenetic relationships among five heterothallic species
ofNeurosporausing restriction fragment polymorphisms derived from cosmid probes and …
