Part of the Genetic Engineering book series (GEPM, volume 18)

Abstract

Sexual variability within the fungi is extreme. For example, some fungi have only two mating types, while others have thousands. Is there a common genetic basis for these different mating systems? If so, how do the genes function to allow recognition of only a few, as contrasted to many thousands of potential mates?
