MUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF NATURAL ALLELES AT THE B INCOMPATIBILITY FACTOR OF SCHIZOPHYLLUM COMMUNE: alpha2 AND ß6

1 Genetics Unit, Faculty of Life Sciences, Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel

The B incompatibility factor of the fungus Schizophyllum commune having allelic specificity alpha2–ß6 was subjected to mutagenesis by X-irradiation. Five types of mutations were recovered, four of them new types previously unreported. All lead to loss of the B-factor regulatory function; three of the five have retained their allelic specificity. The mutations map in three closely linked sites: Balpha, Bß, and between Balpha and .
