Sex in Fungi

by Joseph Heitman, James W Kronstad, John W Taylor, Lorna A Casselton, and Jim Kronstad

Published 1 January 2007

An invaluable resource that will guide new research on the major groups within the fungal kingdom.

• Provides illuminating insights into the molecular details of cell-type specification, mating-type switching, pheromone perception and signaling, and cellular and nuclear fusion.
• Includes chapters on both model and pathogenic fungi, as well as a section that looks forward to what we hope to learn in other fungal lineages.
• Concludes with a selection of chapters on the implications of sex and studies of experimental evolution in a broader evolutionary context.
