Molecular genetics of heterokaryon incompatibility in filamentous ascomycetes.
Filamentous fungi spontaneously undergo vegetative cell fusion events within but also between individuals. These cell fusions (anastomoses) lead to cytoplasmic mixing and to the formation of vegetative heterokaryons (i.e., cells containing different nuclear types). The viability of these heterokaryons is genetically controlled by specific loci termed het loci (for heterokaryon incompatibility)....
متن کاملEvidence for balancing selection operating at the het-c heterokaryon incompatibility locus in a group of filamentous fungi.
In filamentous fungi, het loci (for heterokaryon incompatibility) are believed to regulate self/nonself-recognition during vegetative growth. As filamentous fungi grow, hyphal fusion occurs within an individual colony to form a network. Hyphal fusion can occur also between different individuals to form a heterokaryon, in which genetically distinct nuclei occupy a common cytoplasm. However, hete...
متن کاملMolecular genetics, physiology and biology of self-incompatibility in Brassicaceae
Self-incompatibility (SI) is defined as the inability to produce zygotes after self-pollination in a fertile hermaphrodite plant, which has stamens and pistils in the same flower. This structural organization of the hermaphrodite flower increases the risk of self-pollination, leading to low genetic diversity. To avoid this problem plants have established several pollination systems, among which...
متن کاملHeterokaryon incompatibility function of barrage-associated vegetative incompatibility genes (vic) in Cryphonectria parasitica.
Six vegetative incompatibility (vic) loci have been identified in Cryphonectria parasitica based on barrage formation during mycelial interactions. We used hygromycin B- and benomyl-resistance as forcing markers in C. parasitica strains to test whether heteroallelism at each vic locus prevents heterokaryon formation following mycelial interactions. Paired strains that had allelic differences at...
متن کاملA complete inventory of fungal kinesins in representative filamentous ascomycetes.
Complete inventories of kinesins from three pathogenic filamentous ascomycetes, Botryotinia fuckeliana, Cochliobolus heterostrophus, and Gibberella moniliformis, are described. These protein sequences were compared with those of the filamentous saprophyte, Neurospora crassa and the two yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Data mining and phylogenetic analysis of the mo...
