As a model organism for studying photosynthesis of plant,flagella assembly and function,cell cycle and circadian rhythms,signal transduction,light perception and cell recognition,Chlamydomonas has been investigated widely.This review reported the advances in molecular mechanism of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mating.We focused on adhension,tipping,disadhension and regulation of synthesis of sex agglutinins as well as some genes related with adhension of agglutinins.The molecular mechanism of Chlamydomonas mating might provide reference to the study of some human diseases.
