Crosses between sexually compatible strains resulted in the formation of multiple nonostiolate ascocarps within stromata, which places the teleomorph in genus Petromyces. Ascocarp and ascospore morphology in Petromyces nomius were similar to that in P. flavus and P. parasiticus, and differences between teleomorphs were insufficient for species separation. Formation of mature ascocarps was infrequent, with only 24% of the 83 crosses producing viable ascospores. The majority of P. nomius strains contained a single mating-type gene (MAT1-1 or MAT1-2), but several strains contained both genes. MAT1-1/MAT1-2 strains were self-sterile and capable of mating with both MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 strains; hence P. nomius appears to be functionally heterothallic.}, number={1}, journal={Mycologia}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Horn, Bruce W. and Moore, Geromy G. and Carbone, Ignazio}, year={2011}, month={Jan}, pages={174–183} }

 @article{horn_moore_carbone_2009, title={Sexual reproduction in Aspergillus flavus}, volume={101}, ISSN={["1557-2536"]}, DOI={10.3852/09-011}, abstractNote={Aspergillus flavus is the major producer of carcinogenic aflatoxins in crops worldwide and is also an important opportunistic human pathogen in aspergillosis. The sexual state of this heterothallic fungus is described from crosses between strains of the opposite mating type. Sexual reproduction occurred between sexually compatible strains belonging to different vegetative compatibility groups. Multiple, indehiscent ascocarps containing asci and ascospores formed within the pseudoparenchymatous matrix of stromata, which places the fungus in genus Petromyces. The teleomorph of P. flavus could not be distinguished from that of P. parasiticus (anamorph = A. parasiticus), another aflatoxin-producing species, based on morphology of the sexual structures. The two species can be separated by anamorph morphology, mycotoxin profile and molecular characters.}, number={3}, journal={MYCOLOGIA}, author={Horn, Bruce W. and Moore, Geromy G. and Carbone, Ignazio}, year={2009}, pages={423–429} }
