Abstract excerpt
Many filamentous fungi are capable of undergoing conspecific hyphal fusion with a genetically different individual to form a heterokaryon. However, the viability of such heterokaryons is dependent upon vegetative (heterokaryon) incompatibility (het) loci. If two individuals undergo hyphal anastomosis, but differ in allelic specificity at one or more het loci, the fusion cell is usually compartmentalized and...
