Abstract excerpt
Individual perithecia from selfings of most Ceratocystis species produce both self-fertile and self-sterile progeny, apparently due to uni-directional mating-type switching. In C. coerulescens, male-only mutants of otherwise hermaphroditic and self-fertile strains were self-sterile and were used in crossings to demonstrate that this species has two mating-types. Only MAT-2 strains are capable of selfing, and half...
