Abstract

Life-threatening infections caused by fungi in the order Onygenales have been rising over the last few decades. Increasing global temperature due to anthropogenic climate change is one potential abiotic selection pressure that may explain the increase in infections. The generation of genetically novel offspring with novel phenotypes through the process of sexual recombination could allow fungi to adapt to changing climate conditions. The basic structures associated with sexual reproduction have been identified in Histoplasma, Blastomyces, Malbranchea, and Brunneospora. However, for Coccidioides and Paracoccidioides, the actual structural identification of these processes has yet to be identified despite having genetic evidence that suggests sexual recombination is occurring in these organisms. This review highlights the importance of assessing sexual recombination in the order Onygenales as a means of understanding the mechanisms these organisms might employ to enhance fitness in the face of a changing climate and provides details regarding the known reproductive mechanisms in the Onygenales.

气候变化时期的爱情:龙眼目有性生殖研究综述

在过去的几十年里，由真菌引起的危及生命的感染一直在上升。由于人为气候变化导致的全球气温升高是一种潜在的非生物选择压力，这可能解释了感染的增加。通过性重组过程产生具有新表型的遗传新后代可以使真菌适应不断变化的气候条件。与有性生殖相关的基本结构已经在组织浆菌、芽生菌、分枝菌和褐孢菌中被确定。然而，对于球虫和副球虫，尽管有遗传证据表明这些生物正在发生性重组，但这些过程的实际结构鉴定尚未确定。这篇综述强调了评估Onygenales性重组的重要性，因为这是了解这些生物在面对气候变化时提高适应性的机制的一种手段，并提供了关于Onygenales已知生殖机制的细节。

期刊介绍： Fungal Genetics and Biology, formerly known as Experimental Mycology, publishes experimental investigations of fungi and their traditional allies that relate structure and function to growth, reproduction, morphogenesis, and differentiation. This journal especially welcomes studies of gene organization and expression and of developmental processes at the cellular, subcellular, and molecular levels. The journal also includes suitable experimental inquiries into fungal cytology, biochemistry, physiology, genetics, and phylogeny. Fungal Genetics and Biology publishes basic research conducted by mycologists, cell biologists, biochemists, geneticists, and molecular biologists. Research Areas include: • Biochemistry • Cytology • Developmental biology • Evolutionary biology • Genetics • Molecular biology • Phylogeny • Physiology.
