Maintenance of sex-linked deleterious alleles by selfing and group selection in metapopulations of the phytopathogenic fungus Microbotryum violaceum.

The American naturalist - 1 May 2005

Tellier Aurelien, Villaréal Lorys M M A, Giraud Tatiana

Abstract excerpt

Microbotryum violaceum is a fungus that causes the sterilizing anther smut disease in many Caryophyllaceae. Its diploid teliospores are heterozygous at the mating-type locus, normally producing equal proportions of haploid sporidia of the two mating types. However, natural populations contain high frequencies of individuals producing sporidia of only one mating type. This mating-type ratio bias is caused by the...
