ASF1 regulates asexual and sexual reproduction in Stemphylium eturmiunum by DJ-1 stimulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Most fungi display a mixed mating system with both asexual and sexual reproduction. The timing of the two modes of reproduction must be carefully...

Reproduction-associated pathways in females of gibel carp (Carassius gibelio) shed light on the molecular mechanisms of the coexistence of asexual and sexual reproduction
Gibel carp ( Carassius gibelio ) is a cyprinid fish that originated in eastern Eurasia and is considered as invasive in European freshwater ecosystems....
-
Plasmodium falciparum formins are essential for invasion and sexual stage development
The malaria parasite uses actin-based mechanisms throughout its lifecycle to control a range of biological processes including intracellular...

An epiQTL underlying asexual seed formation in Arabidopsis
Key messageThe DNA methylation status at an epigenetic quantitative trait locus in the Arabidopsis chromosome 2 is linked to the formation of...

Mutation in Polycomb repressive complex 2 gene OsFIE2 promotes asexual embryo formation in rice
Prevention of autonomous division of the egg apparatus and central cell in a female gametophyte before fertilization ensures successful reproduction...

Genome-wide high-resolution map** of DNA methylation reveals epigenetic variation in the offspring of sexual and asexual propagation in Robinia pseudoacacia
Key MessageWe detected the genome-wide pattern of DNA methylation and its association with gene expression in sexual and asexual progenies of mature R...
-
Comparative genomics of smut fungi suggest the ability of meiosis and mating in asexual species of the genus Pseudozyma (Ustilaginales)
BackgroundThe Ustilaginales comprise hundreds of plant-parasitic fungi with a characteristic life cycle that directly links sexual reproduction and...
-
Sexual differentiation in human malaria parasites is regulated by competition between phospholipid metabolism and histone methylation
For Plasmodium falciparum , the most widespread and virulent malaria parasite that infects humans, persistence depends on continuous asexual...

Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes display global chromatin remodelling during sexual differentiation
BackgroundThe protozoan malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum has a complex life cycle during which it needs to differentiate into multiple...

Histone H2B lysine 122 and lysine 130, as the putative targets of Penicillium oxalicum LaeA, play important roles in asexual development, expression of secondary metabolite gene clusters, and extracellular glycoside hydrolase synthesis
Core histones in the nucleosome are subject to a wide variety of posttranslational modifications (PTMs), such as methylation, phosphorylation,...

Calmodulin, Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Kinases-1 and 2 Regulate Expression of the Heat Shock Proteins for Heat Shock Tolerance and Pheromone Signaling Genes for Sexual Development in Neurospora crassa
Calmodulin (CaM) is a primary Ca 2+ sensor that binds and activates numerous target proteins and regulates several cellular processes in eukaryotes....
-
Genetic and morphological comparisons of lesser celandine (Ficaria verna) invasions suggest regionally widespread sexual reproduction
Both asexual and sexual reproduction can provide important keys to the success of invasive species. A species with potential for both is lesser...
-
Male Sexual Trait Decay in Two Asexual Springtail Populations Follows Neutral Mutation Accumulation Theory
The transition to asexual reproduction is frequent and widespread across the tree of life and constitutes a major life history change. Without sexual...

Identification of IPT9 in Brachiaria brizantha (syn. Urochloa brizantha) and expression analyses during ovule development in sexual and apomictic plants
BackgroundIn Brachiaria sexual reproduction, during ovule development, a nucellar cell differentiates into a megaspore mother cell (MMC) that,...

The b-ZIP transcription factor, FgBzip16, is essential for fungal development, ascospore discharge, and pathogenicity by modulating fatty acid metabolism in Fusarium graminearum
Fusarium graminearum is an economically devastating pathogen that causes cereal worldwide. The plant disease cycle involves sexual reproduction, with...
-
Establishment of conidial fusion in the asexual fungus Verticillium dahliae as a useful system for the study of non-sexual genetic interactions
Cell-to-cell fusion is a fundamental biological process across the tree of life. In filamentous fungi, somatic fusion (or anastomosis) is required...

Host Cell Remodeling by Plasmodium falciparum Sexual Stages
Purpose of ReviewTo thrive and survive, intracellular pathogens actively remodel their host cells. The mechanisms developed by the asexual stages of...

The ankyrin repeat-containing protein PlANK1 mediates mycelial growth, oospore development, and virulence in Peronophythora litchii
Litchi downy blight, caused by Peronophythora litchii , is one of the most serious diseases in major litchi-producing regions worldwide. The ankyrin...
