Abstract
Genetic nonself recognition systems, termed heterokaryon or vegetative incompatibility (vic), operate in many filamentous fungi to regulate hyphal fusion between genetically dissimilar individuals.
The vic system operating in the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, has been reported to restrict transmission of virulence-attenuating mycoviruses.
A comparative genomics approach has been employed to identify physical genes associated with the six genetically identified C. parasitica vic loci.
