	Sexual reproduction (from fungus) -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		The nucleolus is usually also retained and divided between the daughter cells, although it may be expelled from the nucleus, or it may be dispersed within the nucleus but detectable.
		Plasmogamy, the fusion of two protoplasts (the contents of the two cells), brings together two compatible haploid nuclei.
		The dikaryotic state that results from plasmogamy is often a prominent condition in fungi and may be prolonged over several generations.

		They may be indistinguishable as to sex or may be characterized as being the male gametangium (antheridium) or female gametangium (ascogonium, in the case of the ascomycota).
		Plasmogamy occurs when vegetative hyphae of compatible mating types fuse, there are no distinguishable gametangia.
		Since karyogamy is delayed, this plasmogamy results in mycelium that has 2 nuclei in each cell (dikaryotic mycelium, N+N).

		When spores are produced by sexual reproduction, hyphae of different strains (+ and - instead of male and female) connect and although the cytoplasm may join, the nuclei do not.
		In fungi syngamy is in two stages, plasmogamy (fusion of plasma) and karyogamy (fusion of nuclei).
		After plasmogamy, the nuclei may not immediately fuse, in which the cell will be dikaryon (2 nuclei).

		The results suggest that the fertilization events are generally the same in both species and that the actin cytoskeleton partly governs sexual plasmogamy and nuclear migration.
		Plasmogamy then occurred and one or both nuclei entered the trichogyne.
		Gamete fusion (plasmogamy) occurred 30 min later and the migration of male nuclei into the trichogyne followed 20-40 min after that.

		The two join (plasmogamy) and produce a series of binucleate, dikaryotic hyphae that reach above the ground and form the fruiting body or basidioma.
		The basidia is itself formed by plasmogamy between mycelia from two different spores.
		Plasmogamy results in binucleate hyphae, that is, hyphae with two types of nuclei, one from each parent.

		Plasmogamy is immediately followed by karyogamy, followed by meiosis.
		In Basidiomycota, separation of plasmogamy and karyogamy complicates interpretation.
		In the remaining fungi, plasmogamy need not be followed immediately by karyogamy.

	Phycologia: Is the life cycle of Derbesia (Chlorophyta) heterokaryotic? - Response to the commentary of Schnetter and ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Our strain of D. tenuissima is therefore a diplohaplont and lacks a heterokaryotic phase in the life cycle, in contrast to what is claimed to occur in various species and strains of Derbesia by Schnetter and co-workers.
		As far as we know, karyogamy always follows soon after plasmogamy in all normal algal life cycles, without intervening mitosis: the two nuclei of opposite sex always fuse to form one diploid nucleus before the first nuclear division in the zygote.
		In our studies, it was not until a full day after plasmogamy that elongating sporophytes of D. tenuissima initiated the first nuclear division, which agrees well with the observations of D. marina (Lyngbye) Solier by Neumann (1969, 1974).

	Phycologia: Karyogamy follows plasmogamy in the life cycle of Derbesia tenuissima (Chlorophyta) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The finding of zygotic karyogamy suggests that the sporophyte of this species develops from a diploid homokaryotic zygote, and this disputes interpretations of the life history of Derbesia based on microspectrophotometric studies.
		The life cycle of all three species was reported to be haplo- heterokaryotic because the level of nuclear DNA contents found in both sporophytes and gametophytes was the same as that in haploid gametes and because nuclei with diploid DNA levels were found only in young sporangia.
		In mating experiments with D. tenuissima gametes (female gametes were prestained with acridine orange), two unfused nuclei in a 15-min-old zygote and four nuclei in a 4-h-old zygote were observed, suggesting that in the zygote of Der!oesia, mitosis of both male and female gametic nuclei might occur without the nuclei being fused.

	Medmicro Chapter 73
		The union of two hyphal protoplasts (plasmogamy) may be followed immediately by karyogamy, or it may be separated in time.
		Normally plasmogamy (union of two hyphal protoplasts which brings the nuclei close together in the same cell) is followed almost immediately by karyogamy.
		In certain members of the Basidiomycotina, however, these two processes are separated in time and space, with plasmogamy resulting in a pair of nuclei (dikaryon) contained within a single cell.

		A method is outlined whereby the sexual reaction, resulting from the interaction between a single oidium (fertilizing agent) and a mycelium (ascogonial parent), can be studied.
		The principal stages in the reaction include: (1) induction of ascogonial primordia, (2) maturation of the ascogonium, (3) directional growth of the trichogyne, (4) plasmogamy, (5) the attraction and proliferation of sheath hyphae.

		Following contact between an antheridium and ascogonium, or an ascogonium and a conidiospore of opposite mating types, plasmogamy will occur, so that a male nucleus will be found in the same cell as the female nucleus.
		Dikaryotic hyphae will now be stimulated to grow from this ascogonium, in a coordinated manner with haploid hyphae to form the fruiting body known as an ascocarp.
		Within the ascus, two spores undergo plasmogamy and karyogamy, forming a diploid zygote, which exits the ascus and continues as a pseudohypha.

		Plasmogamy of the + and - gametangia occurs, and the haploid nuclei pair up forming a diploid zygosporangium that is metabolically inactive and resistant to desiccation and freezing.
		When conditions become favorable, karyogamy occurs between pair nuclei; the resulting diploid nuclei immediately undergo meiosis producing genetically diverse haploid spores.
		Under certain environmental conditions, plasmogamy occurs between two haploid mycelia of opposite mating types.

		The fusion of cytoplasm is called plasmogamy and the subsequent fusion of nuclei - karyogamy - can occur soon after plasmogamy or only after considerable delay (depending on the type of fungus involved).
		Variations on this heterokaryotic theme (involving the nature of the fruiting body produced following plasmogamy and the length of time between plasmogamy, karyogamy and meiosis) are illustrated in the text in Figures 20.7 (bread mold, a Zygomycete, one of the Zygomycota), 20.10 (a "typical" Ascomycete), and 20.14 (a "typical" Basidiomycete).
		Examine these illustrations on your own and relate what you see in the Week 5 lab to these notes so that you get an appreciation of how the details of Zygomycete, Ascomycete and Basidiomycete reproduction fit the general pattern described.

		The process by which the cytoplasms of two parental fungi fuse is called plasmogamy
		Note that plasmogamy may be followed by nuclei fusing, though this does not necessarily occur immediately, and for some fungi the time until nuclear fusion occurs can be greatly extended (days, months, years)
