Abstract: Most colonial marine invertebrates are capable of allorecognition, the ability to distinguish between themselves and conspecifics. One long-standing question is whether invertebrate allorecognition genes are homologous to vertebrate histocompatibility genes. In the cnidarian Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus,… read more here.

Abstract: When allogeneic plasmodia of Myxomycetes encounter each other, they fuse or avoid each other depending on the combination, indicating that plasmodia can recognize self and non-self. The mechanisms of allorecognition are not fully understood from… read more here.

Abstract: Programmed cell death preventing heterokaryon formation in fungi has been proposed to represent a defense mechanism against conspecific genome exploitation and mycoviruses. Here, Daskalov et al. identified a novel genetic determinant of allorecognition... Nonself recognition… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.80459
Abstract: Organisms require the ability to differentiate themselves from organisms of different or even the same species. Allorecognition processes in filamentous fungi are essential to ensure identity of an interconnected syncytial colony to protect it from… read more here.
