recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Scientific Reports"

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-69087-y

Abstract: Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) is an opportunistic yeast that causes meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised individuals. Calorie restriction (CR) prolongs Cn replicative lifespan (RLS) and mimics low-glucose environments in which Cn resides during infection. The effects of CR-mediated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/07060661.2018.1481884

Abstract: Abstract A rapid and sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was established for detection of mating types of Cochliobolus heterostrophus, the causal agent of southern corn leaf blight (SCLB). Two pairs of mating type-specific primers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evaa197

Abstract: Abstract Sex offers advantages even in primarily asexual species. Some ciliates appear to utilize such reproductive strategy with many mating types. However, the factors determining the composition of mating types in the unicellular ciliate Tetrahymena… read more here.

Sex Without Sexes: Can The Cost of Finding A Mate Explain Diversity in Fungal Mating Systems?

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icad037

Abstract: Eukaryotes have evolved myriad ways of uniting gametes during sexual reproduction. A repeated pattern is the convergent evolution of a mating system with the fusion of larger gametes with smaller gametes (anisogamy) from that of… read more here.

Evolution of mating types in finite populations: The precarious advantage of being rare

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Evolutionary Biology"

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13528

Abstract: Sexually reproducing populations with self‐incompatibility bear the cost of limiting potential mates to individuals of a different type. Rare mating types escape this cost since they are unlikely to encounter incompatible partners, leading to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msphere.00170-22

Abstract: Cryptococcus neoformans isolates are of two mating types: MATα strains, which are predominant, and MATa strains, isolated from the sub-Saharan African region, where cryptococcosis is most abundant and severe. Here, we demonstrated the function of… read more here.

DOI: 10.30843/nzpp.2018.71.143

Abstract: Taro leaf blight (TLB) caused by Phytophthora colocasiae is a damaging disease that destroyed Samoa’s taro industry following its introduction in 1993. The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of the A1… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2023 at "Frontiers in Genetics"

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1014014

Abstract: Mendelian randomization (MR) has become a common tool used in epidemiological studies. However, when confounding variables are correlated with the instrumental variable (in this case, a genetic/variant/marker), the estimation can remain biased even with MR.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jof8030298

Abstract: Phytophthora infections are followed by histological alterations, physiological and metabolomic adjustments in the host but very few studies contemplate these changes simultaneously. Fagus sylvatica seedlings were inoculated with A1 and A2 mating types of the… read more here.
