Unlike its close relatives that are heterothallic, H . moniliformis exhibits a homothallic sexual strategy.
2.
Homothallic " D . discoideum " strains AC4 and ZA3A are also able to produce macrocysts.
3.
A homothallic strain of Closterium forms selfing zygospores via the conjugation of two sister gametangial cells derived from one vegetative cell.
4.
In " D . mucoroides " ( DM7 ) homothallic mating, cells are directed towards sexual development by ethylene.
5.
Conjugation in the homothallic strain occurs mainly at low cell density and is regulated by an ortholog of a heterothallic sex-specific pheromone.
6.
When incubated with their bacterial food supply, heterothallic or homothallic sexual development can occur, resulting in the formation of a diploid zygote.
7.
Up until 2010, all truffle species were thought to be homothallic, that is, capable of sexual reproduction from a single organism.
8.
Instead, the lichen-forming fungi of these species reproduce sexually by self-fertilization ( i . e . they are homothallic ).
9.
Among those " Aspergillus " species that exhibit a sexual cycle, the overwhelming majority in nature are homothallic ( self-fertilizing ).
10.
In contrast, homothallic species display the oogonia and antheridia on either the same hyphal branch or on separate hyphal branches but within the same colony.
