Sentence examples for mating types have from inspiring English sources

One to six mating types have been reported in different species [e.g., [ 24, 26, 27]].

Even though two mating types have been described for this fungus, their distribution within the population is heavily skewed toward one of the two, and sexual mating has never been observed in vivo or in vitro [ 102, 103].

These results represent an intriguing comparison within the fungal genus and should be investigated more broadly, using other fungi where the mating types have distinct roles in the conjugation process.

According to [ 12] and [ 13], mating types have evolved to suppress harmful conflicts between cytoplasmic elements, while [ 11] suggests that mating type loci have evolved in response to polymorphisms for genes involved in gamete recognition.

Indeed, mixed infection of serotype A and D isolates as well as isolates of the same serotype but with different molecular types or mating types have been documented (Desnos-Ollivier et al. 2010; Mandal et al. 2005; Sullivan et al. 1996).

Either A. adeninivorans is truly asexual and the loss of MTAL2 may be the cause, or alternatively, A. adeninivorans is sexual but strains of the opposite mating type have not yet been identified, thus preventing successful mating.

In some fungal species of the genera Neurospora, Ustilago, and Cryptococcus, regions of recombination suppression linked to mating type have been shown to extend from a few thousand base pairs to >75% of the chromosome length (Fraser et al. 2004; Menkis et al. 2008; Bakkeren et al. 2008; Ellison et al. 2011; Whittle et al. 2011).

A possible alternative, mating between isolates of the same mating type, has been demonstrated [12].

The effect of Pmt's on mating was analyzed in the serotype D strains since these crosses are more vigorous than in serotype A, and since mating type has been associated with virulence in this strain background [33], [34].

At 48 h, some cells of either mating type had begun to revert to mitotic divisions.

Using tester strains with good mating abilities and five asexual strains for which the molecular determination of mating type had been obtained, we repeated crosses and confirmed that these strains do not mate in culture.
