"When yeast cells kiss": two haploid yeast cells of different mating types approach each other for mating. Use of images is limited to editorial coverage of scientific topics relating to the ...

How do diploid yeast cells transform themselves into haploid cells, so that they can mate and reproduce through meiosis? A young University of Oregon researcher named Ira Herskowitz proposed that a ...

However, in budding yeast, spores are produced within diploid cells. During this process, de novo membrane structures form within the cytosol, encapsulating the meiotic haploid nuclei to produce ...

Fission yeast and budding yeast are free-living haploid cells that are easily grown in the laboratory. They have different cell shapes and patterns of division. Left, fission yeast; right ...

Budding yeast can also polarize in response to an external signal, namely a pheromone that is important for efficient mating of two haploid cells. Two different types of haploid cell — mating ...
