Studies on the major groups within the fungal kingdom have provided significant and wide-ranging contributions on the molecular bases by which sexual identity and reproduction are defined and controlled.Sex in Fungi: Molecular Determinationa dn Evolutionary Implications not only encopasses the current state of knowledge, but also serves as an invaluable resource that will guide new research on these systems and organisms. Drawing on the great advances made over the past 10 years, this volumeprovides illuminating insights into the molecular details of cell-type specification, mating-type switching, pheromone perception and signaling, and cellular and nuclear fusion.
