Modes of reproduction and sexual strategies strongly influence the genetic diversity and evolutionary potential of a species. The ascomycete fungus Clonostachys rosea is reported to be homothallic (sexually self‐fertile), although a rapid decay of genome‐wide linkage disequilibrium is also reported, something that is not in line with an obligate homothallic mode of reproduction. To investigate this phenomenon, we identified th...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous mutualistic symbionts of most terrestrial plants and many complete their lifecycles underground. Whole genome analysis of AM fungi has long been restricted to species and strains that can be maintained under controlled conditions that facilitate collection of biological samples. There is some evidence suggesting that AM fungi can adapt to culture resulting in phenotypic and poss...
