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

In this review on fungal speciation, we first contrast the issues of species definition and
species criteria and show that by distinguishing the two concepts the approaches to studying …

Fungal Morphogenesis brings together in one book, for the first time, the full scope of fungal
developmental biology. The book provides a coherent account of the subject and puts …

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 …

Ribosomal RNA genes are organized in tandem arrays called nucleolus organizer regions
(NORs). In a prior study, RFLP mapping on pulsed‐field gels placed NOR2 at the northern …

The white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus is an edible basidiomycete with increasing
agricultural and biotechnological importance. Genetic manipulation and breeding of this …

Two biotypes (A and B) of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides infect the tropical legumes
Stylosanthes spp. in Australia. These biotypes are asexual and vegetatively incompatible …

Mushroom-forming fungi in the order Agaricales represent an independent origin of
bioluminescence in the tree of life; yet the diversity, evolutionary history, and timing of the …

A dominant mutation of the elongationless2 (eln2) gene of the mushroom Coprinus cinereus
(eln2-1) affects pattern formation in the development of fruit body primordia, causing dumpy …

Ever since the first translocations were recognized in plants and animals in the 1920s,
changes in chromosome structure have been a primary source of information for …
