Abstract excerpt
Neurospora tetrasperma is naturally heterokaryotic, with cells possessing haploid nuclei of both a and A mating types. As a result, isolates are self-fertile (pseudohomothallic). Occasional homokaryotic ascospores and conidia arise, however, and they produce strains that are self-sterile and must outcross to complete sexual reproduction. Invariably, laboratory crosses employing sibling a and A strains from the...
