Abstract:		Sexual development in filamentous ascomycetes requires mating-type genes to mediate recognition of compatible cell and nuclear types. Characterization of mating-type genes from various fungi shows that they primarily encode transcriptional regulators. Recent studies on mating-type-specific pheromones and internuclear recognition have shed light on how mating-type genes specify mating and nuclear identity in filamentous ascomycetes
