Abstract excerpt
Trans-species polymorphism, meaning the presence of alleles in different species that are more similar to each other than they are to alleles in the same species, has been found at loci associated with vegetative incompatibility in filamentous fungi. If individuals differ at one or more of these loci (termed het for heterokaryon), they cannot form stable heterokaryons after vegetative fusion. At the het-c locus...
