Fission yeast cells undergo sexual differentiation in response to nitrogen starvation. In this process haploid M and P cells first mate to form diploid zygotes, which subsequently enter meiosis and sporulate. Prior to mating, M cells secrete M-factor and P-cells secrete P-factor, and these diffusibl...
Modes of sexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms are highly diversified. The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans undergoes a phenotypic switch from the white to the opaque phase in order to become mating-competent. In this study, we report that functionally and morphologically differentiated ...
Candida albicans can stochastically switch between two phenotypes, white and opaque. Opaque cells are the sexually competent form of C. albicans and therefore undergo efficient polarized growth and mating in the presence of pheromone. In contrast, white cells cannot mate, but are induced - under a...
We analyzed the changes in brain gene expression after alarm pheromone exposure. Bees from single-drone inseminated colonies were exposed to alarm pheromone at the hive entrance and collected 1h after exposure for analysis.
In honey bees (Apis mellifera), the reproductive queen produces a pheromonal signal that regulates many aspects of worker behavior and physiology and is critical for maintaining colony organization. Queen mandibular pheromone (QMP) inhibits worker reproduction, attracts workers from a short distanc...

Responses to social cues, such as pheromones, can be modified by genotype, physiology, or environmental context. Honey bee queens produce a pheromone (queen mandibular pheromone; QMP) which regulates many aspects of worker bee behavior and physiology. Forager honey bees are less responsive to QMP t...
