Sex-ratio bias in populations of the phytopathogenic fungus Microbotryum violaceum from several host species.

2003-07-01

Abstract excerpt

The present study explores the maintenance of a segregation distortion in the phytopathogenic fungus Microbotryum violaceum (anther smut). Some individuals of this species produce spores with completely biased sex ratio because of the presence of haplo-lethal alleles linked to the mating-type gene. To test the different hypotheses proposed to explain the maintenance of these haplo-lethal alleles (diploid advantage...
