Abstract excerpt
Mycotoxin producing capability greatly varies within species. In theory, the major source of this variability is meiotic recombination. However, a number of important toxigenic species have no known sexual stage and, therefore, the origin of the intraspecific diversity in these fungi is poorly understood. Mating in sexually reproducing Ascomycetes is controlled by MAT genes, but fungi with no known sexual stage...
