Abstract
Heterokaryons were synthesized among AG4 homokaryons of R. solani mutant for different stages of the infection process in flax [Linum usitatissimum] hypocotyls. The heterokaryons were pathogenic and highly virulent. Pathogenicity of R. solani to flax hypocotyls is nonhost-specific and is controlled by several dominant factors. Two different genetic systems control seed rot and hypocotyl infection in the pathogen.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
