Heterokaryon formation between different fungal individuals is an important component of
many fungal life cycles and may serve as the first step in the parasexual cycle and the …

The role of Aspergillus spp. in biodeterioration and spoilage of stored materials (especially
foodstuffs) is discussed. Many produce mycotoxins, others are used in the commercial …

The effect of vegetative (heterokaryon) incompatibility on the transfer of a suppressive
cytoplasmically determined condition, vegetative death, from carrier to normal strains of …

Endothia parasitica, which causes a canker disease of chestnut trees, has a system of
vegetative incompatibility similar to that found in other ascomycetes. Incompatible interaction …

In this review we speculate about our claim that in Nature specific mechanisms exist which
operate to'define'individuals within fungal populations. We discuss such information as is …

Aspergillus terreus has a worldwide distribution in soil, constitutes the third most important
cause of invasive aspergillosis in humans and is classically regarded as a strictly asexual …

Strains of Aspergillus flavus were recovered from corn samples from 15 counties in Georgia
and placed into 22 different heterokaryon-compatibility (hc) groups. There was no clear …

Evidence is presented for five or six previously undetected heterokaryon incompatibility (het)
loci, bringing to about ten the number of such genes known in Neurospora crassa. The …

Certain features reminiscent of sexuality occur in the vegetative life cycle of some
filamentous fungi such as Neurospora crassa. Hyphal fusions can occur between genetically …

Publisher Summary This chapter that in many cases the occurrence of heterogenic
incompatibility has been unequivocally demonstrated by comprehensive genetic data …
