Abstract excerpt
In filamentous fungi, a cell death reaction occurs when cells of unlike genotype fuse. This cell death reaction, known as incompatibility reaction, is genetically controlled by a set of loci termed het loci (for heterokaryon incompatibility loci). In Podospora anserina, genes induced during this cell death reaction (idi genes) have been identified. The idi-6/pspA gene encodes a serine protease that is the...
