Coprinus cinereus has two main types of mycelia, the asexual monokaryon and the sexual
dikaryon, formed by fusion of compatible monokaryons. Syngamy (plasmogamy) and …

The examination of fungal chromosomes by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis has revealed
that length polymorphism is widespread in both sexual and asexual species. This review …

Sister chromatid cohesion is crucial for chromosome segregation during mitosis. Loss of
cohesion very possibly triggers sister separation at the metaphase→ anaphase transition …

The homobasidiomycete Coprinus cinereus exhibits remarkable photomorphogenesis
during fruiting-body development. Under proper light conditions, fruiting-body primordia …

In the 1940s, screens for metabolic mutants of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa
established the fundamental, one-to-one relationship between a gene and a specific protein …

Sexual development in the mushroom Coprinus cinereus is under the control of two mating
type loci, A and B. When two haploid homokaryons with compatible alleles at both A and B …

Pheromone signaling plays an essential role in the mating and sexual development of
mushroom fungi. Multiallelic genes encoding the peptide pheromones and their cognate 7 …

Sexual development in the mushroom Coprinus cinereus is under the control of the A and B
mating-type loci, both of which must be different for a compatible, dikaryotic mycelium to form …

A gene that confers resistance to the systemic fungicide flutolanil was isolated from a mutant
strain of the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus. The flutolanil resistance gene was mapped to …

A homokaryotic strain (5337) in our culture stock of Coprinus cinereus produced fertile fruit
bodies after prolonged culture. Microscopic examination revealed that hyphae …
