Abstract excerpt
Vegetative incompatibility is known to limit heterokaryosis in filamentous fungi. It results from genetic differences between incompatible strains at specific loci. The proteins encoded by the two incompatible alleles het-s and het-S of the fungus Podospora anserina differ from each other by 14 amino acids. Two approaches have been used to identify how many and which of these differences are necessary to elicit...
