Abstract excerpt
Vegetative incompatibility is a lethal reaction that destroys the heterokaryotic cells formed by the fusion of hyphae of non-isogenic strains in many fungi. That incompatibility is genetically determined is well known but the function of the genes triggering this rapid cell death is not. The two allelic incompatibility genes, s and S, of the fungus Podospora anserina were characterized. Both encode 30 kDa...
