Somatic deficiency causes reproductive parasitism in a fungus
Mycelial fusion can favour fungal strains that exploit each other, but the mechanism is not well understood. Here, Grum-Grzhimaylo et al. show that different cheater lineages share similar deficiencies in initiating fusion that nevertheless enable them to preferentially obtain the benefits of fusion...

Sumario: | Mycelial fusion can favour fungal strains that exploit each other, but the mechanism is not well understood. Here, Grum-Grzhimaylo et al. show that different cheater lineages share similar deficiencies in initiating fusion that nevertheless enable them to preferentially obtain the benefits of fusion initiated by wild-type mycelia. |
