Common sex-linked deleterious alleles in a plant parasitic fungus alter infection success but show no pleiotropic advantage.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2006

Giraud T, Jonot O, Shykoff J A

Abstract excerpt

Microbotryum violaceum is a fungus that causes the sterilizing anther smut disease in Caryophyllaceae. Its diploid teliospores normally produce equal proportions of haploid sporidia of its two mating types. However natural populations contain high frequencies of individuals producing sporidia of only one mating type ('biased strains'). This mating type-ratio bias is caused by deleterious alleles at haploid phase...
