Journal Article
Krappmann, S., Gabl, E., Pazen, T., Heizmann, A., Pöggeler, S., Krüger, T., Kniemeyer, O., Einsiedel, J., Gmeiner, P., Yu, Y., Dyer, P. S., Baker, S. E., & Nowrousian, M. (online). Identification of an a-factor-like pheromone secreted by the heterothallic ascomycete Aspergillus fumigatus. Current Biology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2025.03.080

Members of the fungal kingdom serve as models for numerous cellular processes, among them sexuality. In heterothallic ascomycetes, mating-type systems ensure that only compatible isolates fuse to enter the sexual phase. This includes reciprocal secre...
