In Most Fungi, Karyogamy Does Not Immediately Follow Plasmogamy, Which Consequently

In fungi, sexual reproduction consists of three stages: plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis. While the traditional understanding of sexual reproduction in fungi is that karyogamy occurs immediately after plasmogamy, recent research has demonstrated that this is not always the case. What is Plasmogamy? Plasmogamy is the union of two haploid cells. It occurs when cells of …
