Spermatogenesis is a developmental process during which a small number of diploid
spermatogonial stem cells produce a large number of highly differentiated spermatozoa …

In response to nitrogen starvation in the presence of a poor carbon source, diploid cells of
the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergo meiosis and package the haploid nuclei …

Tagging of genes by chromosomal integration of PCR amplified cassettes is a widely used
and fast method to label proteins in vivo in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This …

Stamens are the male reproductive organs of flowering plants. They consist of an anther, the
site of pollen development, and in most species a stalk-like filament, which transmits water …

Unicellular organisms such as yeast have evolved to survive constant fluctuations in their
external surroundings by rapidly adapting their internal systems to meet the challenges of …

ABSTRACT pH homeostasis is critical for all organisms; in the fungal pathogen Candida
albicans, pH adaptation is critical for virulence in distinct host niches. We demonstrate that …

Homology search and DNA strand–exchange reactions are central to homologous
recombination in meiosis. During meiosis, these processes are regulated such that the …

The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in
enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a …

Proper chromosome segregation is crucial for preventing fertility problems, birth defects and
cancer. During mitotic cell divisions, sister chromatids separate from each other to opposite …

Sporulation of the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a response to nutrient
depletion that allows a single diploid cell to give rise to four stress-resistant haploid spores …
