6 Heterogenic Incompatibility in Fungi

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Growth, Differentiation and Sexuality

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 1))

Abstract

In biology, incompatibility is usually defined as restriction of mating competence controlled by genes other than those determining sexual differentiation. It has been long recognised that incompatibility concerns not only the sexual phase but also the vegetative phase. The latter becomes apparent especially in fungi and was first termed heterokaryon incompatibility. In both sexual and vegetative incompatibility, the action of the genetic traits involved precludes the exchange of genetic material. Thus, inhibition of recombination results by a lack of karyogamy (sexual incompatibility) as well as by an inability of the nuclei to coexist in a common cytoplasm and to undergo somatic recombination (vegetative incompatibility). Since recombination is of paramount importance in evolution, the biological significance of incompatibility as a factor controlling recombination is immediately apparent.
