Abstract

The fungal sexual cycle is, in its alternation of haploid and diploid phases, essentially the same as in higher plants and animals, with fusion of haploid gamete nuclei (karyogamy) to give diploidy, and meiosis to restore haploidy. Where most fungi differ from ‘higher’ eukaryotes is that, meiosis follows immediately after karyogamy, so that the diploid phase is confined to the meiotic cell. In the most studied groups of fungi, Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes, which are sexually reproducing, there are differences in their modes of formation of haploid spores.
