Abstract excerpt
Multiallelic incompatibility systems found in many fungi and plants function to limit inbreeding by mediating self versus nonself recognition. The plant pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis has a locus called b that governs incompatibility. Two multiallelic genes, bE and bW, are present at the b loc...
