DEMONSTRATION OF A PARASEXUAL CYCLE IN THE ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGUS METARHIZIUM ANISOPLIAE

K. Al-Aidroos

Open publisher page 27 citations

Abstract

In an attempt to demonstrate the existence of a parasexual cycle in the imperfect entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin, doubly- and triply-marked strains were forced to form heterokaryons. All heterokaryons produced diploid spores, two of which yielded putative recombinants.
