Environment-induced same-sex mating suggests homothallism is a primary mode of sexual reproduction in the yeast Candida albicans
In this study, we report that glucose starvation and oxidative stress, common environmental stresses encountered by the pathogen, induce the development of mating projections and efficiently permit same-sex mating in C. albicans with an “a” mating type (MTLa/a). Overall design: total RNA profiles of cells grown in YPD-K or YP-K
