Abstract excerpt

We have investigated the horizontal transfer of two mitochondrial plasmids and the Kalilo senescence phenotype in the fungus Neurospora without the use of heterokaryon-forcing markers. The Kalilo senescent state was only transferred between fully-compatible N. crassa strains, but not between stra...
