Sexual fungi can be self-sterile (heterothallic, requiring genetically distinct partners) or self-fertile
(homothallic, no partner required). In most ascomycetes, a single mating type locus (MAT) controls the
ability to reproduce sexually. In the genus Cochliobolus, all heterothallic species have either MAT1-1 or
MAT1-2 (but never both) in different individuals whereas all homothallic species carry both MAT1-1
and MAT1-2 in the same nucleus of an individual. It has been demonstrated, previously, that a MAT gene
from homothallic Cochliobolus luttrellii can confer self-mating ability on a mat-deleted strain of its heterothallic
relative, Cochliobolus heterostrophus. In this reciprocal study, we expressed, separately, the heterothallic
C. heterostrophus MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-2-1 genes in a mat-deleted homothallic C. luttrellii strain and
asked if this converts homothallic C. luttrellii to heterothallism. We report that: (1) A C. luttrellii transgenic
strain carrying C. heterostrophus MAT1-1-1 and a C. luttrellii transgenic strain carrying C. heterostrophus
MAT1-2-1 can mate in a heterothallic manner and the fertility of the cross is similar to that of a wild type
C. luttrellii self. Full tetrads are always found. (2) A C. luttrellii transgenic strain carrying C. heterostrophus
MAT1-1-1 can mate with the parental wild type C. luttrellii MAT1-1;MAT1-2 strain, indicating the latter is
able to outcross, a result which was expected but has not been demonstrated previously. (3) A C. luttrellii
transgenic strain carrying C. heterostrophus MAT1-2-1 cannot mate with the parental wild type C. luttrellii
MAT1-1;MAT1-2 strain, indicating outcrossing specificity. (4) Each transgenic C. luttrellii strain, carrying
only a single C. heterostrophus MAT gene, is able to self, although all pseudothecia produced are smaller
than those of wild type and fertility is low (about 4–15% of the number of wild type asci). These data support
the argument that in Cochliobolus spp., the primary determinant of reproductive mode is MAT itself,
and that a heterothallic strain can be made homothallic or a homothallic strain can be made heterothallic
by exchange of MAT genes. The selfing ability of transgenic C. luttrellii strains also suggests that both
MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-2-1 genes of C. heterostrophus carry equivalent transcription regulatory activities,
each capable of promoting sexual development when alone, in a suitable genetic background.
