Genetic investigation into the mode of action of the genes controlling self incompatibility and heterothallism in Basidiomycetes

  • Chapter
Incompatibility in Fungi

Abstract

An essential problem in tetrapolar incompatibility is the means by which the specific information carried by the incompatibility genes determine compatibility or incompatibility of a given mycelium with another ; this is the problem of the physical basis of the action of the incompatibility gene. A second problem is to determine which developmental stages of the sexual process are affected by the incompatibility mechanism; this is a physiological problem. The first deals with the specific information carried by the incompatibility genes ; the other deals with the detailed mechanisms by which this information is translated to actual incompatibility or compatibility, regardless of the specificity of this information.
