Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2023 Jul;
120(29):e2305099120.
PMID: 37436957
Volvocine green algae are a model for understanding the evolution of mating types and sexes. They are facultatively sexual, with gametic differentiation occurring in response to nitrogen starvation (-N) in...

. 2021 Oct;
172(5-6):125834.
PMID: 34695730
The evolution of germ-soma cellular differentiation represents a key step in the evolution of multicellular individuality. Volvox carteri and its relatives, the volvocine green algae, provide a model system for...

Mol Biol Evol
. 2018 Jan;
35(4):855-870.
PMID: 29294063
Multicellularity is the premier example of a major evolutionary transition in individuality and was a foundational event in the evolution of macroscopic biodiversity. The volvocine chlorophyte lineage is well suited...

Yamamoto K, Kawai-Toyooka H, Hamaji T, Tsuchikane Y, Mori T, Takahashi F, et al.
PLoS One
. 2017 Jul;
12(6):e0180313.
PMID: 28665990
Volvox is a very interesting oogamous organism that exhibits various types of sexuality and/or sexual spheroids depending upon species or strains. However, molecular bases of such sexual reproduction characteristics have...

Hanschen E, Marriage T, Ferris P, Hamaji T, Toyoda A, Fujiyama A, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2016 Apr;
7:11370.
PMID: 27102219
The transition to multicellularity has occurred numerous times in all domains of life, yet its initial steps are poorly understood. The volvocine green algae are a tractable system for understanding...

J Phycol
. 2016 Apr;
45(6):1310-4.
PMID: 27032588
Gonium pectorale O. F. Müll. (Volvocales, Chlorophyta), a colonial 8- or 16-cellular alga, is phylogenetically important as an intermediate form between isogametic unicellular Chlamydomonas and oogamous Volvox. We identified the...

G3 (Bethesda)
. 2016 Feb;
6(5):1179-89.
PMID: 26921294
Sex-determining regions (SDRs) or mating-type (MT) loci in two sequenced volvocine algal species, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Volvox carteri, exhibit major differences in size, structure, gene content, and gametolog differentiation. Understanding...

Evolution
. 2014 Apr;
68(7):2014-25.
PMID: 24689915
To understand the hierarchy of life in evolutionary terms, we must explain why groups of one kind of individual, say cells, evolve into a new higher level individual, a multicellular...

Hamaji T, Ferris P, Nishii I, Nishimura Y, Nozaki H
PLoS One
. 2013 May;
8(5):e64385.
PMID: 23696888
Background: Isogamous organisms lack obvious cytological differences in the gametes of the two complementary mating types. Consequently, it is difficult to ascertain which of the two mating types are homologous...

Genetics
. 2008 Jan;
178(1):283-94.
PMID: 18202374
The evolution of anisogamy/oogamy in the colonial Volvocales might have occurred in an ancestral isogamous colonial organism like Gonium pectorale. The unicellular, close relative Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has a mating-type (MT)...
