Causes and consequences of variability in peptide mating pheromones of ascomycete fungi

TL;DR: It is suggested that frequent duplication and loss causes the tandem repeats to experience "birth-and-death" evolution, which could in fact facilitate interspecific divergence of pheromone peptide sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of Fungus-Mite Mutualism in a Unique Niche

TL;DR: This study provides compelling evidence that mites are the primary vectors of infructescence-associated Ophiostoma spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Female Fertility and Mating Type Distribution in a South African Population of Fusarium subglutinans f. sp. pini
