Quorum sensing (QS) in fungi is a well-studied cell-cell communication mechanism that plays a significant role in fungal biology and evolution. Recent research suggests that using fungi as model systems to study how QS regulation integrates into eukaryotic reproductive strategies and molecular or cellular processes could provide important insights for QS research.
Quorum sensing (QS) is one of the most studied cell-cell communication mechanisms in fungi. Research in the last 20 years has explored various fungal QS systems that are involved in a wide range of biological processes, especially eukaryote- or fungus-specific behaviors, mirroring the significant contribution of QS regulation to fungal biology and evolution. Based on recent progress, we summarize in this review fungal QS regulation, with an emphasis on its functional role in behaviors unique to fungi or eukaryotes. We suggest that using fungi as genetically amenable eukaryotic model systems to address why and how QS regulation is integrated into eukaryotic reproductive strategies and molecular or cellular processes could be an important direction for QS research.
