Mating-Type Genes in Mycelial Ascomycetes
The largest subdivision of fungi is the Ascomycotina, whose sexual progeny (ascospores) are enclosed in sac-like structures called asci. This extremely diverse group is composed chiefly of mycelial fungi, but also includes many unicellular yeasts. In this

Series Preface
Mycology, the study of fungi, originated as a subdiscipline of botany and was a descriptive discipline, largely neglected as an experimental science until the early years of this century. A seminal paper by Blakeslee in 1904 provided evidence for self-incompatibility, termed "heterothallism", and stimulated interest in studies related to the control of sexual reproduction in fungi by mating-type specificities. Soon to follow was the demonstration that sexually reproducing fungi exhibit Mendelian inhe
