Heterokaryon incompatibility is suppressed following conidial anastomosis tube fusion in a fungal plant pathogen.

It has been hypothesized that horizontal gene/chromosome transfer and parasexual recombination following hyphal fusion between different strains may contribute to the emergence of wide genetic variability in plant pathogenic and other fungi. However, the significance of vegetative (heterokaryon) inc...
