Mechanism of commitment to a mating partner in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

K. C. Jacobs, O. Gorman, D. J. Lew

This study investigates how yeast cells commit to mating partners despite varying pheromone levels, finding that steep gradients near polarity sites trap them in place, enabling sexual selection for higher pheromone production.
