Multiple-allelic incompatibility factors at one locus or at two unlinked loci were reported
almost 50 years ago as the typical systems determining self-sterility and the patterns of …

Four mating types can be distinguished in matings of single spore mycelia, depending on
whether these have both the A and B factors, or only A, or only B or neither of them in …

The significance of sexual selection, the component of natural selection associated with
variation in mating success, is well established for the evolution of animals and plants, but …

The widespread occurrence of vegetative incompatibility in fungi and the high level of
incompatibility gene polymorphisms in fungal populations means that generally parents in a …

Mycology, the study of fungi, originated as a subdiscipline of botany and was a descriptive

Heterothallism in the Euascomycetes has been of interest to mycologists ever since its
discovery by Dodge (1920) in Ascobolus magnificus. In this classic paper, he showed that …
