Conjugation between two haploid yeast cells is generally controlled by the reciprocal action of diffusible mating pheromones, cells of each mating type releasing pheromones that induce mating-specific changes in cells of the opposite type. Recent studies into pheromone signalling in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe have revealed significant parallels with processes in higher eukaryotes and could provide the opportunity for investigating communication in an organism that is amenable to both biochemical and genetic manipulation.
两个单倍体酵母细胞之间的接合通常由可扩散的交配信息素的相互作用控制，每种交配类型的细胞释放信息素，诱导相反类型细胞发生交配特异性变化。最近对裂殖酵母粟酒裂殖酵母中信息素信号传导的研究揭示了与高等真核生物过程的显著相似之处，并可能为研究一种既适合生化操作又适合基因操作的生物体中的通讯提供机会。
