Abstract excerpt
In nature, the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, has a mixed mating system; i.e., individuals in the same population have the ability to self and outcross. In the laboratory, C. parasitica appears to have a bipolar self-incompatibility system, typical of heterothallic ascomycetes; selfing is rare, although demonstrable. In this report we describe the cloning and sequencing of both mating-type...
