Fig 2. Unisexual reproduction potential enhances competition for mating partners of both mating types.

(A) a-α cell fusion frequencies for mating competitions between two MATα strains over a MATa strain. (B) Unisexual α-α cell fusion frequencies in the presence of MATa strains of different hyphal growth phenotypes. ** indicates 0.001<p≤0.01, *** indicates 0.0001<p≤0.001, and **** indicates p≤0.0001 for each group analysis by one-way ANOVA.
